David Reveman has made the latest XGL source code available to download. This comes a few weeks after development of the project was criticised for being done 'behind closed doors'. There have been huge changes to XGL, the most significant being restructuring of the code, allowing XGL's GLX support to function on other drivers than the proprietary Nvidia one. Xcompmgr can currently be run under XGL with full acceleration provided that the proprietary ATI or Nvidia drivers are used. An OpenGL based compositing manager, 'Compiz' is currently in the works and a release is expected in February. David intends to get the code into freedesktop CVS as soon as possible, after which the code should eventually merge with Xorg.

"The Linux cake is obviously loaded with hallucinogens, as I don't see how else you people could make the claims you do."
Ah, but you seem to be as obsessed with Linux as those you profess to despise so much, LIP. You really need to stop this whole "maggot calling pus white" thing.
