Glamor is a generic, hardware independent, 2D acceleration driver for the X server that translates the X render primitives into [[OpenGL]] operations, taking advantage of any existing 3D OpenGL drivers.<ref>{{cite web|title=What is Glamor?|url=http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/|publisher=FreeDesktop.org|accessdate=10 February 2014}}</ref> In this way, it is functionally similar to Quartz Extreme and QuartzGL (2D performance acceleration) for Apple [[Quartz Compositor]].
