Yes, and Novel just donated to the X.org project, the latest version of
their whiz bang super accelerated x accelerator eye candy. They have a
site up with a capture of the stuff they did at a show in Germany a
couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you it was damned impressive even
when played back by an mplayer pluggin. I should have bookmarked the
site, but hindsite seems to be the better working sight for me today.:(

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)

why not? i usd to talk shit aobut OSX, mainly
because it was slow on
my G3. but they were the first with an on-GPU GUI, which was 90% of
the resource usage. linux will maybe have this ironed out by about
2008, but of course there will praobly be forks/camps around DE
lines, proprietary-driver-support biases etc.
I think it will be much sooner - I predict a mainstream distro will
ship a 3D accelerated desktop by the end of 2006. I definitely
expect Linux to beat Microsoft on this.
Ever since the XFree86 -> Xorg transition X development has
drastically accelerated, after years of glacially slow development.
