I rolled it for my gentoo box, but as I use KDE there really wasn't any thinf for me. I got all of the nice affects, but no window borders. Compiz is the window manager that was built to work in gnome not KDE. So I guess XGL is cool, but they need to develop something for the rest of us to play with.

<p><DEFANGED_div>True. No one would be expected to try all combinations<br>
of hardware. But "they" could still specify the items they<br>
know work. M$ ( Microsoft ) clearly provides untold drivers<br>
so that its OSes work ( I use the words OSes and work<br>
loosely here.... ) on as much hardware as possible. Sure,<br>
M$ has the resources ( a.k.a. a monopoly ) to do this,<br>
but it's important to have a few reference systems that are<br>
know to work well. If a developer just happens to have a<br>
PC made up of oddball parts, that could, and maybe does<br>
now and then, cause a lot of trouble for others, and <br>
perhaps give the product a bad reputation.<br></p><DEFANGED_div><p><DEFANGED_div><DEFANGED_span class="sg">
