Does this mean that the page http://en.opensuse.org/Beryl is also incorrect in saying:
Beryl with nVidia drivers - no Xgl/AIGLX "...This uses nVidia's AIGLX; not Xorg's inbuilt/optional AIGLX..."
Well - partially. It just shouldn't be called AIGLX (this sentence is explicitly stating that is not the same as AIGLX as Xorg calls it). Correcting it. Reads now: Since Xorg 7.x, composite effects can be used without Xgl and simply an nVidia card. This uses nVidia's implementation of EXT_pixmap_from_texture, not the one from Xorg's inbuilt/optional AIGLX or from Xgl.
Well, this page is quite confusing, at least for me. Can someone point to a decent article about the technologies/acronyms?
No, unfortunately. Creating such a page would surely be appreciated.
