NVIDIA 180.11 Linux Driver Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Back on November 14, NVIDIA had unveiled their 180.06 Linux driver as a major
| update that brought forth VDPAU, an advanced video acceleration API, and a
| horde of other features. Four days after that, NVIDIA then pushed out the
| 180.08 Linux driver that delivered OpenGL 3.0 support. Now this afternoon,
| NVIDIA has pushed out another driver. The 180.11 Beta brings in a couple of
| fixes and improvements.

Compiz? Emerald? Metacity? What's the Difference?
,----[ Quote ]
| And now the last bit about themes. I said before that Compiz can use Kwin and
| Metacity's themes just fine thanks to kde-window-decorator and
| gtk-window-decorator. Some people are confused about what exactly comprises a
| Metacity theme versus a GTK theme, especially since they are installed in the
| same place. A GTK theme controls how buttons look, the colors of text, the
| window background, the scrollbars, and the menubar styles. The Metacity theme
| just controls the window border's style. For KDE, the Qt theme does the
| buttons, scrollbars, etc., and Kwin has its own themes for window borders, I
| think.

Compiz Support For Multi-Pointer X
,----[ Quote ]
| In May we shared that Multi-Pointer X (or MPX for short) was entering the
| mainline X server. While it was merged to master that month, X Server 1.5 was
| already branched out and therefore it won't appear in X.Org 7.4, but it will
| appear in X Server 1.6 (X.Org 7.5) until next year.
