Last month we had presented information in regards to XGL + Compiz as well as AIGLX or rather Accelerated Indirect GL X. With XGL being largely developed by Novell, and Accelerated Indirect GL X being conceived in the Fedora Rendering Project, there were initial speculations of competition between the two Linux desktop interface improvements. However, it seems as if AIGLX improvements will soon be found in XGL. Novell's David Reveman has agreed to implement a great deal of changes in the Fedora AIGLX project by Red Hat's Kristian Hodsberg. Certainly this non-partisan work is great for those who simply are looking forward to an improved Linux desktop environment.
