Hi group,
With all those posts about the freedesktop.org/x.org server, I'm wondering... What's the fuss all about? Yes, I know it's very nice, but why do people really want to use it _now_? I'm really looking forward to the shadowing and the real translucency (especially translucent eterm windows, :-) but I can only enjoy translucency when eterm is patched to use the new X extensions, right? So what are the _real_ benefits of running the x.org server right now?
Thanks,
David
For slow computers the Xdamages extension might make X performance a bit better (anyway I read something like that)
Oh, and some people like extra eye candy like translucency so much they can't wait.. I think?
Anyway, I'll just wait and see when new X comes in to sarge, that might just take some time ;) this computer is powerfull enough to work without Xdamages and stuff I guess
HTH,
Joris
