This weekend I visited Fosdem 2006 @ ULB Brussels on Sunday morning. I wanted to see some Gentoo stuff (i.e. SeJo’s keynote) and the ACPI presentation of Matthew Garrett. I saw the Xgl Gnome implementation on a laptop with OpenSUSE and some nice tricks with video stuff at the VideoLAN presentation.
Of course I made some pictures on this event.
On the Freedesktop.Org website, I saw a movie about the future of the Linux Desktop. The developpers are really doing nice things with Xgl there!
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:
In the future, this components will be a standard in the X-server, X.org.
