    is there any way in linux to do OSX-style GUI acceleration?

    you know how OSX the entire GUI in openGL, so that it can be hardware accelerated by the graphics chip and take a load off the CPU?
    It's fantastic because it makes even a slow machine seem soooo much snappier and less aggravating than one without openGL gui accel.
    IMHO, I think that was one of the best ideas ever in HCI/usability


    so is there any way to do that sort of thing in linux? if so, what do I need to do it?

    As far as I know, you cannot do this.

    Although if you use the command line things are pretty snappy.

    You should be fine if you set the correct driver for your video card in your X config.

    example: driver "nv" works for nvidia, but for acceleration, you need to install the driver "nvidia"
