The video shows a presentation of Dave Reveman, showing the various features of Xgl, such as transparent windows, switching virtual deskops using a 3D-cube, OpenGL accelerated video’s and OpenGL applications which seems to intergrate very well in de user interface. I wonder what videocard one should use in order to achieve these results. At least I think there have to be good OpenGL drivers available for your videocard… I doubt that there are videocards with open source drivers which will work good with Xgl.

Främst har det berott på att tillverkarna av grafikkorten inte har släppt sina specifikationer fria. Så är det dessvärre fortfarande. Men om man bortser från det, och nöjer sig med att köra proprietära drivrutiner för grafikkorten så kan man snart få en riktigt trevlig 3D-miljö att arbeta i. Jag blev riktigt överraskad när jag såg demonstrationsvideon Jaw Dropping Xgl Demo. Ge mig det gränssnittet nu tack.

Here's a link to one of them: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-199899523054020719&q=xgl Although it is ruthlessly compressed and missing lots of frames so it's going at super fast speed.

The zoom feature is awesome for visually impared people those with tired eyes (like me right now!). Really, incredibly cool stuff. The Linux desktop will never be considered "the ugly duckling" once this makes it into the mainstream.
