Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy 416

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday June 28, 2005 @10:42AM from the sounds-delicious-to-me dept.

BonoLeBonobo writes "Xorg is going to include a new acceleration architecture which will help desktops to have better eye-candy effects thanks to a better XRender, thus composite, acceleration. Developped by Zack Rusin, a KDE and Qt developper, this new feature should be present in Xorg in September. Porting the existing drivers to this new acceleration architecture should be easy."

Speaking of eye candy and reliablity/faithfullness- reminds me of my wife, although she is neither...

Huh? Are you saying that your wife is neither reliable nor faithful, or not eye candy? I don't get it.

I found why we went to X11 -- I tried reverting to X10 and kept getting pop-up ads for voyeur cameras.

... Graphics card producer ATI has just released a new driver for the world's most popular desktop operating system, Linux. The driver will accellerate some, but not all 2D graphics operatings with X11R7. The company also announced it is accellerating its development process and published a new roadmap:
- 2011, ATI will have full 2D accelleration
- May 2012, the company expects to support the most important 3D operations in X
- Nov 2012, start support for extra functions of its graphics cards, such as TV-in and video decoding on Linux
- By 2015, ATI expects to have full support for all 2D/3D and multimedia functions for all its graphics cards on Linux
- Mar 2016, the company will accellerate development even further. It will start porting some, but not all, applications to Linux.
- Aug 2016, ATI will begin work to support versions of X released in the mean time, including X11R8, X11R9 and X11R10.
