AIGLX is enabled by default in etch already. Composite is not, although we could enable it. I don't know what the impact would be on kde users though, as I understand kwin has a compositing manager, although it might not be able to take advantage of the acceleration hooks like compiz and beryl do. Compiz should ship with etch, and turning on composite in xorg.conf is trivial, so I'm not too worried about having it off by default in this release. I don't really understand your definition of "default desktop environment", so I can't comment on that... > My opinion is based as a beryl user in an ibook with 'heavily' > customized Debian and not so customized Ubuntu (just needed to push > beryl from 3rd party repository). How heavily customized does your debian install have to be? I just installed the packages from the XSF svn repo and beryl worked out of the box, once I enabled composite. This is pretty minimal. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
