| 255645 | 2004-07-27 03:08:00 | Seeing as its been released to the public, I figured why not give it a whirl :-) Installed in on my laptop (Gentoo 2004.1 kernel-2.6.8-rc2-love2) (512MB Ram and 16MB shared SiS 650 Onboard VGA, 2.8Ghz P4) by emerging all the related apps. I manually downloaded the files, as some had download locks on them (This would be Gentoo-related only). Grabbed the ebuild for lookingglass-0.5 and setup went without a hitch. I opened a console and ran: /opt/lg3d/lg3d-dev and was greeted with: sal.neoburn.net Not bad eh :-) Sadly I couldnt get it to run in a Full-screen, it tried to use some sort of different X config... It just didnt like me. It would try and run it at 800x600, and my keyboard/mouse would freeze forcing me to ssh into my laptop and reboot it like that :-( Played a little with moving apps etc, but not much because it uses the native WindowManager (Enlightenment in my case) when run in a window. Has anybody else used it? Thoughts? If you've not heard of it, you can check out a small video here: wwws.sun.com I highly recommend the larger quicktime download - well worth it :-) Cheers Chill. |

| 255647 | 2004-07-27 08:54:00 | The Project Looking Glass looks really neat. There are some good screenshots available here (wwws.sun.com). Might have to try this Looking Glass desktop myself out. :) | Jen C (20) | ||
