Using XGL as a temporary hack or making temporary hacks to let users use compiz with AIGLX. If we don't do one of them, then we forgot a big part of the Fedora users.
does that mean its working? or is it not? or is it working after patching?
Yes, ATI driver suck for many reasons proprietary/not intensive developed/etc... but many people have such cards and saying that we don't care about it is just saying we don't care about a big part of our users, I think that's not good for Fedora.
In my place, ATi users are more than NVidia users, its a pain when trying to promote Fedora to them .. and with fglrx is broken in F7 .. I have no idea what to answer if they asked ..
I'm personally sure that many people have switch to GNU/Linux these last year just to have a wobbly desktop with all these eye candy stuffs. I like eye candy as a awesome propaganda piece for the GNU/Linux desktops too.
+1. the Wow factor...
Just my 2 cent of the day. Alphonse
back to topic , I just rewrote desktop-effects in .py to make use compizconfig-python .. attached them together with this email .. -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus -----------------------------------------------
