I think that ati supports it now as well. So, things like glx, aiglx and the like are no longer required, and compiz HAS hardware acceleration if your hardware and drivers support such extension. Or maybe I am missing something? I have tested compiz and beryl a couple of times. I don't like them, but I have tried them, and I never used glx or aiglx. Just my nvidia drivers. No doubt it was hardware acceleration, since dancing windows did not manage to get my cpu above a 5% usage, while in fvwm they get to 100% if I move a single window like mad. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
