Now that everybody is talking about XGL, I was thinking that it need compiz, which only works with gnome... or not? I'm a kde user, and I don't plan to build gnome only to try this. And what's more, I wouldn't use gnome, so I just wouldn't use XGL. But I've read other things that made me think that it's possible to use kde with XGL.
You really need compiz or some other window manager that does compositing to use Xgl. Otherwise, you're getting none of the benefits of using it. You could certainly use KDE with compiz, but you wouldn't get the native look and feel of KDE. Not to mention that you need a decent part of the GNOME stack to use compiz. I'm pretty sure when you're reading about people using KDE and Xgl, it's just using compiz as the window manager in a KDE session. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
