Novell this week unveiled updates to the Linux graphics subsystem that are aimed at making it a more attractive operating system for desktop users.

The improvements to X over OpenGL (Xgl), the graphics technology that underlies Linux, will render images faster and improve 3-D graphics and video for users running Linux-based desktops, said Charlie Mancusi-Ungaro, Novell's director of marketing for Linux and open-source. The new capabilities, already available in source code, arrive before Microsoft Corp.'s much-ballyhooed Aero graphical user interface in the upcoming Vista operating system.
