AIGLX should be on by default in the Xserver. Then it's basically just a matter of using a compositing windowing manager if you have the card and driver to support DRI. Mesa-6.5.2 just enabled more of the OpenGL spec, I believe. Oh, have you heard about the new free nvidia driver, nouveau? It's being developed from the ground up rather than hacking more on nv. Most importantly, the people hacking on it are serious X developers like Dave Airlie (the DRM maintainer). He just merged it into the master trees yesterday. Should be interesting to see what happens there. http://airlied.livejournal.com/37578.html > I recently wrote a brief howto on the lfs-general(on gmaine: used to be > known as lfs-chat) list if you are interested.
