Awesome. Sounds like an idea I've had for a software for a long time. Would love to look at the source code sometime. Please keep us posted on the progress. :)

+1, that software looks very interesting. The '3D' menu has especially caught my interest. Is it commercial or open-source?

That already works on my machine (Arch Linux). Just make sure you the have 32bit Flashplugin.

Awesome work, congratulation to the developers!

Maybe by the time the OSS drivers are able to fully support Steam games (OpenGL wise) the OSS radeon drivers will be close enough to finally forget...

What is your mouse (brand, class) and what is your mouse polling rate on Linux? If you have a high-frequency mouse (like a gaming mouse), then you'll want to set the value to mach your mouse's mhz...

Awesome. Thank you, Nvidia!

Can't wait! Been eagerly awaiting the day I don't need to reboot to play my favorite FPS game.

Great read! Thanks for this article, would have missed this very useful presentation otherwise.

I'm not so sure about that, seeing as how Mark Shuttleworth just left Canonical to join Apple. Without Mark's money, I don't see Mir going anywhere too fast.

Not entirely. It's also a way to inform the application that it's no longer visible and doesn't need to render. Otherwise applications will go on happily rendering in the background when they don't...

JIT doesn't matter, because every variable lookup (or assignment in V8's case) requires expensive searching overhead. There isn't much to get around this, though they keep adding in a lot of complex...

Which part and how so?

I write in Javascript every day, it's slow and I know it. Moreover, there's no dynamic language out there that compares to the performance of native static-typed ones (C &...

I am concerned as well, but I have high hopes the differences between Wayland & Mir wont be a problem. EGL is basically just a library which gives you commands to: create a GPU buffer & create a...

lol, wut? Javascript has... dynamic typing, dynamic prototype based object structures, variable tagging (v8) with 31bit ints, etc... there may be some obscure way to get JS to work at slightly okay...

+1 This is pretty much my exact feelings on the issue as well. When Mir was first announced, I thought NVidia/AMD would have to choose sides. But after reading a G+ post by one of the developers...

Not to mention Mir was announced right around a time when many of Wayland's fruits are beginning to ripen.

It is rumored that NVidia is writing a EGL, DS-agnostic driver that will benefit both Mir and Wayland (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTMyMTI). Let us hope this is the case and...

One of the most annoying aspects about Mir, is having to deal with everyone who inevitable attributes all post-Mir Wayland developments to it's announcement. While there surely was some unification...

Well if you ever try Gnome again, here's how to fix it:

set the environment variable: "CLUTTER_VBLANK=none" (or add "export ..." to your startup file), then restart Gnome-Shell (Alt-F2, 'r',...

Yeah the Gnome hate is odd to me too. It's almost like people try Gnome Shell for 10 minutes then get pissed there's no taskbar or minimize button (which they're used to), so they rage-quit instead...
