I doubt it. ATI devs report that the team will not even work on support |
| 28 |
until xcompmgr becomes significantly more stable and closer to something |
| 29 |
like a final form, which I can understand, myself. Heck, even the nVidia |
| 30 |
drivers apparently can't support both xcompmgr and their own GLX |
| 31 |
component at the same time (you have to choose one or the other). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Under those conditions, I can only consider it optional (since even if I |
| 34 |
had an nVidia card, if I had to choose between xcompmgr and glx, I would |
| 35 |
choose glx), and while it certainly sounds like a nice option (and I'm |
| 36 |
quite looking forward to it), I'm not particularly hurting for the lack |
| 37 |
of it. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
But we may see support proceed much faster once Xorg 7 is released |
| 40 |
(which I presume would include some kind of stable form of xcompmgr), |
| 41 |
since apparently ATI is going to a *monthly* release schedule (rather |
| 42 |
than every two months): |

mtippett is the nick of Matthew Tippett, Engineering |
| 47 |
Manager for Linux Software Engineering at ATI Technologies, Inc. So if |
| 48 |
he says it publically like that, you can pretty much bank on it. |
