Yesterday I read a post from Miguel de Icaza about new graphic improvements in Linux. Novell announced a new release of XGL and Compiz. This software is responsible for Direct Rendering, 3D and composition features in the X environment.
Some examples:
- Transparency
- Zooming
- Spinning cube (picture below)
In the future, this components will be a standard in the X-server, X.org.
