Certainly does. XGL is just an X server ( a nested one ). You can run any window manager you like on top of it. If you're using the xgl-testing overlay ( which you should ), then you'll already have a 'startxgl' script. Copy it to startxgl_e and then edit it to start enlightenment-0.17 instead of compiz & gnome stuff. Here are the active lines in mine: #!/bin/bash Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer & sleep 2 DISPLAY=:1 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon & DISPLAY=:1 gnome-volume-manager & DISPLAY=:1 enlightenment-0.17 Note that you can't run compiz, but you can run xcompmgr and transset-df. Also check back in a list a *little* bit for a post from me about keybindings and transset. I'm having a little trouble getting it to work properly, but you can kind-of set up keybindings to run transset-df to alter the tranparancy of the window you're pointing at. Also check out http://www.edevelop.org and search for the 'elucence' module, which changes transparancy of windows when they focus-in / focus-out. > * Are there some heavy bugs, that make it unuseable ? > No. It's remarkably usable. The only reason I don't use it full-time is because my damned video card ( ATI X700 mobility ) won't do software-suspend-2 while there is OpenGL stuff active ... so I'd have to exit XGL completely to suspend. Other than that, it's a *little* slower dragging windows around, but it's not too bad at all. XGL by itself seems very stable. compiz crashes occasionally, but if you're running XGL + E17, you shouldn't have any crashes. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
