2006/3/20, Zbigniew Braniecki <zbigniew.braniecki@gmail.com>:
Hi, I'd like to a= sk some questions about the future of X.org an= d
graphic feature set for KDE4.
Please, don't find it as ANYTHING anywere = near to flamewar. I'm just
confused and I'd like to discuss the way KDE = wants to go here.

I saw Xgl, it seems to be a great piece of work (I= 'm not discussing if
it's right choice as architectural decision). It works on today's
so= ftware (like X.org 7.0 and KDE 3.5) which is g= reat.
I assume that AiGLX works very similar which is cool as well.

I saw something called Luminocity, and it was also nice piece of work,<= br>and then I saw Zack's demo's of very similar features for KDE.

I = was very interested in EXA, but it seems that some code was added to
X.org 7.0 and nothing happens now around it (I= checked X.org wiki - no
news there :( ).
Now. As I understand, Xgl is going to be included in X.org server in
the future. AiXGL is not, EXA already is there.
<= br>I read that KDE people are not happy about Xgl/AiXGL because it does
= what DE should do, not X server.

But KDE can't ignore the fact that = Xgl exists and is usable (yes, I
tested it on Gentoo and SuSe and Ubuntu and it works on 3 various
ma= chines. It's not mature, but it works surprisingly well), so I'm
wonderi= ng if KDE4 will be using Xgl/Xegl features somehow, will KDE
try to use = AiXGL somehow?
What's the plan about it? To stick to X.org 7.0 feature set and
develop basing on Qt only? Will Qt integrate with = Xgl/Xegl via KDE?

I'm sorry if my questions sounds stupid, I don't k= now those
technologies too much so possibly I'm messing many different levels,but my point of view is not a technical discussion about what should
be= where and which is better, but rather a question about what KDE4
wants = to use for graphic feature set and how much of it will be shared
through X.org and freedesktop.org with other DE's.

Greetings
Zbignie= w Braniecki
