ubuntu aiglx (Dell M140)

Although the AIGLX project has features similar to Xgl, it is not in fact a competing product. The project, according to the Fedora Project Wiki, was founded because Xgl was written during its final stages "behind closed doors." This disallowed peer-review of the system, which goes against the open source philosophy, and there are critics of the Xgl architecture who state that because of the lack of peer-review, the system has too many flaws to be useful. It is stated, however, that both the AIGLX and Xgl projects will swap code and work in a partnership to ensure compatibility and improvements in both systems...

AIGLX needs driver support to run and is therfore currently limited to open source drivers. AIGLX currently is the best choice for embeded Intel i830 to i945 or an ATI Radeon card up to X800 series.

This is actually a very old video. I've had a couple laptops since then, lol. Anyway, these desktop effects are brought to you by Compiz Fusion. Installed, Configured, and Enabled by default in Ubuntu Linux since version 7.04. I run Linux Mint now. Compiz Fusion runs well on a variety of video cards, but I buy only laptops with Intel hardware due to their high level of Linux compatibility/support.
