Desktop effects

Red Hat has been working on AIGLX through the Fedora Rendering Project, and while we did have it as an optional experimental repository for Fedora Core 5, it has now gone through a number of changes to provide easily enabled desktop effects in your Fedora Core 6 desktop. What have Fedora Core 6 development teams been up to? Here's a few of the things they accomplished:

* Unveiled AIGLX as a community-oriented incremental approach to providing a framework for compositing desktops.
* Merged AIGLX framework into Xorg. It is now available as part of Xorg 7.1 release and will be included in Fedora Core 6.
* Xorg has an improved dynamic configuration mechanism and compositing extension is now enabled by default.
* Changed the OpenGL-based compositing window manager Compiz. It will now work on top of AIGLX and has been tweaked to work better with Fedora.
* Installation of Compiz by default in Fedora Core 6. You can enable it by clicking on the appropriate checkboxes in System=> Preferences => Desktop Effects. With capable hardware it will just work without having to configure anything or even logout of the system.

The results are pretty impressive. While some of these effects are pure eye-candy, others have a more practical value--providing a more physical and tangible feel over application windows and virtual desktops. Not to mention the fresh DNA-themed desktop background

and more check em out!

Looks real cool!

Ubuntu Edgy + NVIDIA Beta Drivers + Beryl = More Cool Features than Compiz..

Beryl is a Fork of Compiz.. it was called the Compiz-Quinnstorm Before it was Renamed.. Its got Better Features than you know.. and it even Supports full Theming..

kalpik · 28-10-2006, 04:18 PM

^^ Yup.. Exactly.. Thats got a hell lot more features than FC6 eye candy!

mediator · 28-10-2006, 04:40 PM

Hmmmm........

JGuru · 28-10-2006, 04:46 PM

Yeah, Ubuntu rocks for sure. Using Beryl with NVidia Beta drivers you get great effects than Fedora 6!!

I installed fedora Core 6 yesterday.
I installed it in Graphical mode ,it worked perfectly but after finishing installation when pc rebooted and os started loading it shoowed unable to run x server.some modules missing......and went in CLI mode

it has created logfile but how can I paste its output.
I choose nearly all packages except KDE related.
What should I do ?

mediator · 01-11-2006, 10:43 AM

old p4 2ghz...256mb ram, 64mb graphics...is that suffice??

red_hat · 04-11-2006, 11:07 AM

Yes its more than sufficinet.

QwertyManiac · 04-11-2006, 11:08 AM

^^
Dont go for FC6 with that or even FC5 for that matter with a PC a bit old like that. Bloat ups, those are workstation distros. For learning take a debian system, a.k.a Ubuntu. You get ton loads of support and features in those too!

JGuru · 04-11-2006, 12:16 PM

@jack// ani, You better upgrade your System to atleast 512 MB RAM. Almost all Linux
distros need atleast 256 MB RAM for decent performance. I think Xubuntu would fit
your PC config perfectly. Also your PC config is not sufficient enough for running Fedora 6.

mediator · 04-11-2006, 04:27 PM

Well I have 2.4 GHz, 512Mb RAM with onboards graphics and FC5 works perfectly on that! So FC6 shud work on u i guess, u may try it!

praka123 · 04-11-2006, 09:39 PM

^^ that is far and enough for most distros to work afaik.

hellknight · 05-11-2006, 12:56 AM

Cool effects, but not much more than SuSE 10.1's XGL, they're gr8 than FC6
