Last week Jigish (cyberorg), Matthias (mhopf), David (davidr) and I
(jpr) all met to discuss next steps for compiz, compiz-fusion and xgl in
openSUSE 11.0. Notes from the meeting follow (AI == action item),
please respond with any questions or comments and especially any
volunteering for some action items:
* xgl/aiglx/nvidia configuration
-aiglx
-already in 10.3
-X team believes aiglx not ready as universal default
-no easy way to turn it on
-closer to 11.0 maybe be better for intel
-don't make it default for now
-AI: add easy way to turn on
-AI: check as we get closer to 11.0 for intel
-nvidia
-AI: use native video support where possible
-xgl
-AI: default for hardware unless otherwise stated
* video/gaming patches
-xine to take advantage of video playback? no.
-AI: document how to do full screen opengl games
-possibly provide script
* multihead
-need xrandr 1.2 in Xgl
-AI: David needs to hack this up soon
* compiz version
-compiz 0.7/0.8 ("compiz 2.0") should be usable by end of year
-compiz-fusion devs already looking at git head changes
-settings tools may need some significant work
-could just port ccsm plugin initially
-AI: ship icompiz 0.8 for 11.0
* making compiz the default
-comparable gui in yast during install to turning 3D acceleration on/off
-AI: make sure "compiz" should launches everything necessary
-AI: talk to KDE team about KDE 4 and kwin compositing
* configuration
-upstream vs. distro simplified
-AI: ship power configuration tool from upstream
-AI: have simple config tool (or tools) for GNOME and KDE if nothing
available upstream
-JP
