I suspect a malfunction precluding one's reading the link
in this case; it comes up fine for me. Admittedly, I
don't see much beyond a set of installation instructions,
complete with requester images and a picture of the XGL
"Cube" at the very end. (I've not gotten the "Cube" to
work in Gentoo but the XGL/Gnome workspace switcher does
behave in a cubelike fashion, while it's switching sides.)
The requesters also look reasonable if somewhat incomplete,
going through the technical aspects of downloading and
installing a couple of modules. The incompleteness,
however, is incidental, not critical; presumably anyone
using SuSE would know how to use SaX2. (I don't, but I
don't have SuSE. :-) Gentoo uses a different if similar
procedure, and is primarily text-based.)
