Xi Jinping, a true supporter of 3D desktop open source in Linux

According to foreign media reports, the Linux operating system service provider Novell recently released xgl (x over OpenGL) and compiz, and presented its latest desktop. Xgl is an OpenGL-based X server. It

With hardware acceleration, you can achieve real 3D graphics in Linux. Compiz is its window manager. The latest version of CVs can be downloaded from freeyuntop.org.

The graphics card uses xgl to enhance the special effects of images, such as transparent objects, 3D effects, and scaling. The software also improves the display speed of some user interfaces, such as text files. Xgl does not have high hardware requirements. NVIDIA geforce2 display chips can run well, but some OpenGL driver support is not perfect yet. Graphic chip giant mongoati has said it will help Novell make Linux a dynamic desktop platform.

MicrosoftThe latest Windows Vista operating system has a gorgeous aero glass display mode. Recently, Mac X operating system released by Apple has also significantly improved the quality of user interface graphics. However, in the history of open-source operating systems, the release of xgl software is of epoch significance.

Linux and open-source supporters said in their comments: "This will create a very beautiful"ProgramStructure standard ." At the same time, they did not forget the commercial software empire that brought Bill Gates to their teeth: "Microsoft is a nasty company and is destined to be destroyed. Killing open source means destroying science and winning open source !"

the xgl software will be integrated into the next Linux SuSE Enterprise Edition of Novell and will be available in May this year or June. Novell hopes to give away xgl for free, so that program developers can create different graphic interfaces to win more Linux desktop program users.
