My Kubuntu Desktop with XGL/Compiz
My Kubuntu Desktop with XGL/Compiz
Originally uploaded by Katsushiro.
Finally got XGL/Compiz installed and running on my Kubuntu Dapper Drake desktop, and it is amazing! Neither MS nor Apple has anything out right now that comes close to this. Vista will supposedly bring some of the things in Compiz, but that’s still a year away, and will require special locked hardware. Meanwhile, I have it today, on a free, open source platform. Hurrah! (And, yes, that video in the middle is *actually* playing, on the border of the cube, as I move it around.) Click here to see a YouTube video showing off what this all looks like in action

Lucky You. I’m trying to do same thing, but somehow it does not like to work as it supposed. Everytime I try to load Xgl it starts Xs for a few seconds and dies with screen full of errors.
I hope I will be able to start it soon:)
