Linux and XGL
“Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. It takes advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, supporting hardware acceleration of all X, OpenGL and XVideo applications and graphical effects by a compositing window manager such as Compiz. As of May 2006, the Xgl X Server (and related components including the Compiz compisting manager and associated graphical config tools) ships as a non-default in one major Linux distribution SuSE 10.1, and will be included in the upcoming Ubuntu 6.06 release.” [source: Wikipedia]
