Intel On Rebuilding The X.Org Linux Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| At FOSDEM 2009 in Keith Packard's talk on the rebuilt Linux desktop, he 
| shared the progress made in composited 3D, monitor auto-plugging, 2D/3D/media 
| shared objects, kernel mode-setting, and kernel-based 2D drawing. Allowing 
| these problems to be addressed was the Graphics Execution Manager for kernel 
| memory management. The Graphics Execution Manager was used instead of TTM 
| (which we talked about several times before at Phoronix) and it allows for 
| persistent objects, global name, and pageable contents.
