Got XGL?

Yipee!!! I got XGL running!!!

XGL is a new technology created by Novell for SuSE Linux (their OS), which takes on a new level of interface design, integrating current environments with 3d acceleration to create fancy interface effects. In short, this "XGL" thing is a software installed into a Linux-powered computer with a 3d-capable video card, to take you to a whole new world of computer interaction, ergo, more computer fun! It would basically turn your computer from this into this.

For those who missed the show, you may visit this link to know what XGL as and what it is all about.

Hey how'd you do that?

Basically, what i did was install Ubuntu 6.06LTS (Dapper Drake) and followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267

Just follow the instructions carefully. Know that installing XGL means altering the X.org (graphics software). Failure to do so could lead to the cataclysmic system crash altering and killing every pixel on your screen... nah, just a joke. (Maybe someone can guess what movie is the previous line quoted from...). Bitaw, magproblem imo Xserver, in other words, mabilin ka sa command line interface. The best thing to do is be ready, try it on a new installation before anything else.

Let me know if you got one XGL/AIGLX working after reading this post!..
