Re: did any one try new xserver?
i tried it and compield it fine about.. maybe 2 weeks ago from cvs.. its pretty good for cvs and jsut being developed over a couple of months.. but it is still quite slow and extreamly buggy.. but i give 2 thumbs up for what they have done so far, the features like real shadows and transparency is amazing. When i dragged an icon on a gnome desktop.. it turned transparent with a nice shadow under it.. worked perfectly.
but isnt usable yet! i cant wait for a close to final release in the near future

Yeah, I tried it too. Very buggy, and slow.
Its got promise though
