LCA: Catching up with X.org
,----[ Quote ]
| For years, linux.conf.au has been one of the best places to go to catch up
| with the state of the X Window System; the 2009 event was no exception. There
| was a big difference this time around, though. X talks have typically been
| all about the great changes which are coming in the near future. This time,
| the X developers had a different story: most of those great changes are done
| and will soon be heading toward a distribution near you.

How to run Emerald at Startup
,----[ Quote ]
| Emerald is a 3D window decorator for compositing window managers such as
| Compiz in Ubuntu. Emerald has grown into a very complex window decorator for
| 3D desktops and supports a wide variety of settings and ways to develop your
| own themes easily. Emerald is a critical component of my current Ubuntu setup
| and a few folks have asked what they need to do if they want it to run at
| startup. Here’s how:

First There Was Compiz, Now There Is Compiz++
,----[ Quote ]
| First there was Compiz, a compositing window manager that brought very
| interesting desktop effects to Linux, and then Beryl came about as a fork of
| Compiz before it ultimately turned into Compiz Fusion. Today though, on
| Christmas eve, the world can now meet Compiz++.
|
| Compiz++ is a branch of Compiz that brings several new features to the table
| and there are huge changes. First off, the Composite and OpenGL layers to
| Compiz have been separated so that Compiz++ no longer is just a compositing
| window manager. If your graphics hardware or drivers don't support Composite,
| you can now run Compiz++ as a normal window manager without compositing
| effects. Other rendering back-ends could be introduced to Compiz++ so that
| the windowing manager could render to say X Render or Clutter. Compiz++ also
| provides re-parented decorations.

Compiz Support For Multi-Pointer X
,----[ Quote ]
| In May we shared that Multi-Pointer X (or MPX for short) was entering the
| mainline X server. While it was merged to master that month, X Server 1.5 was
| already branched out and therefore it won't appear in X.Org 7.4, but it will
| appear in X Server 1.6 (X.Org 7.5) until next year.
