But they are a very small team, mostly researchers, and we hoped, when we highlighted Metisse, people might be interested and hep the project by contributing patches, etc..

I've seen no sign of development and no sign of interest to fix the various bugs I've filed.<BR/>It is definitely a shame as I found it much better and more stable than compiz, however the lack of life discouraged me from using it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323801844414342161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939875814284471727.post-88502988987282273912008-11-18T11:30:00.000+01:002008-11-18T11:30:00.000+01:00Those are Metisse bugs or limitations and we (Mand...Those are Metisse bugs or limitations and we (Mandriva) don't have resources to fix them.

And no, Metisse is not its own window server, check exactly how it is written, it is a true compositing manager but they had to workaround all missing stuff from Xorg.<BR/><BR/>And Rémi job is to port Metisse to Composite / Damage and to help merge input redirection, based on Metisse team long experience on this subject.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183076812550842311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939875814284471727.post-10840206752536630182008-11-18T02:22:00.000+01:002008-11-18T02:22:00.000+01:00You guys still using a hacked together X server ba...You guys still using a hacked together X server based on VNC? That's my biggest problem with Metisse - it's not a true compositor, it's its own window server.<BR/><BR/>Over in the Compiz world, we're waiting for a patch to the real X server that will allow us to do all the awesome stuff you guys are doing (we have the patch, problem is getting them to accept it).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Metisse is great, we're stealing a lot of your ideas ;)OasisGameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021021175186699241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939875814284471727.post-90840377540173754202008-11-17T23:28:00.000+01:002008-11-17T23:28:00.000+01:00I am seriously impressed.
