Re: ATI / fglrx?

Troy Unrau, you say NVIDIA's drivers work without XGL or AIGLX. I know XGL is a separate X server, but isn't AIGLX a part of X.org?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiglx

"The AIGLX project has been merged into X.Org and is available as of X.Org 7.1."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xgl

"Xgl is an X server architecture..."

So how can you work without AIGLX if you run X.org and use NVIDIA drivers?

NVidia's drivers perform the same functions as AIGLX or XGL without their presence. They do it internally within the driver, and as such, will run KWin Composite on X.Org version 6.9, for example, when using the proprietary nvidia drivers.
