Hey this text placed here I saw on a website yesterday o0!!!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2006/3/20, Zbigniew Braniecki <<a href="mailto:zbigniew.braniecki@gmail.com">zbigniew.braniecki@gmail.com</a>>:</span>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, I'd like to ask some questions about the future of <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> and<br>
graphic feature set for KDE4.<br>Please, don't find it as ANYTHING anywere near to flamewar. I'm just<br>confused and I'd like to discuss the way KDE wants to go here.<br><br>I saw Xgl, it seems to be a great piece of work (I'm not discussing if
<br>it's right choice as architectural decision). It works on today's<br>software (like <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> 7.0 and KDE 3.5) which is great.<br>I assume that AiGLX works very similar which is cool as well.<br>
<br>I saw something called Luminocity, and it was also nice piece of work,<br>and then I saw Zack's demo's of very similar features for KDE.<br><br>I was very interested in EXA, but it seems that some code was added to<br>
<a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> 7.0 and nothing happens now around it (I checked <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> wiki - no<br>news there :( ).<br><br>Now. As I understand, Xgl is going to be included in <a href="http://X.org">
X.org</a> server in<br>the future. AiXGL is not, EXA already is there.<br><br>I read that KDE people are not happy about Xgl/AiXGL because it does<br>what DE should do, not X server.<br><br>But KDE can't ignore the fact that Xgl exists and is usable (yes, I
<br>tested it on Gentoo and SuSe and Ubuntu and it works on 3 various<br>machines. It's not mature, but it works surprisingly well), so I'm<br>wondering if KDE4 will be using Xgl/Xegl features somehow, will KDE<br>try to use AiXGL somehow?
<br>What's the plan about it? To stick to <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> 7.0 feature set and<br>develop basing on Qt only? Will Qt integrate with Xgl/Xegl via KDE?<br><br>I'm sorry if my questions sounds stupid, I don't know those
<br>technologies too much so possibly I'm messing many different levels,<br>but my point of view is not a technical discussion about what should<br>be where and which is better, but rather a question about what KDE4<br>wants to use for graphic feature set and how much of it will be shared
<br>through <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> and <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a> with other DE's.<br><br>Greetings<br>Zbigniew Braniecki<br>_______________________________________________<br>Panel-devel mailing list
