Re: SUSE Linux 10
No, but I've been running Xgl on a GeForce 4 4600 for a while now. Hardly cutting edge, but it works exactly as in the demo, except that video playback is choppy -- apparently this is something to do with the current Nvidia drivers using software fallback for cards that don't have pixel shaders, or something.

From what I've read, Xgl is intended to work on low-end hardware -- they're targetting the Intel integrated chipset as a baseline. And besides, all the effects are in the form of plugins, so if something does cause slowdown, you can just turn it off.
