The State of Linux Graphics

While browsing Slashdot I came across this interesting article on the state of Linux graphics and the X server, written by Jon Smirl.

After quitting work on Xgl I received a lot of email and read a lot of posts. My conclusion is that most people don’t really know what is going on with graphics in Linux. It’s understandable that people don’t see the whole picture. Graphics is a large and complex area with many software components and competing developer groups. I’ve written this as an attempt to explain how all of the parts fit together.
