Thanks so much for the draft!  Here is my version.  I just comment the
statement about customers of other Linux distributions (if you insist, I can
enable it again):

  <!-- bug 395450 -->
  <sect3 id="xgl-vs-aiglx" status="2008-05-30">
   <title>Xgl Versus AIGLX</title>

   <para>On &opensuse; 11.0 it is no longer possible to enable or disable Xgl
with a graphical tool (such as <command>gnome-xgl-settings</command> in the
past).  Only the command line tool <command>xgl-switch</command> is still left
to do this job.  Instead AIGLX is now always enabled on supported
hardware.  There are still some issues with AIGLX (e.g., Xvideo is usually
slower, OpenGL applications are misplaced when you rotate compiz' cube), 
but 
<!-- these are limitations customers of other Linux distributions are suffering
since a longer time and still a lot -->
the majority of our customers are requesting to have
AIGLX enabled by default.  If you prefer Xgl over AIGLX use the command line
tool <command>xgl-switch</command> to enable it:
</para>

<screen>xgl-switch --enable-xgl</screen>

   <para>If there are problems after enabling it (Xserver crashes, etc.)
disable it again by running</para>

<screen>xgl-switch --disable-xgl</screen>

   <para>The proprietary NVIDIA driver needs neither AIGLX nor Xgl for running
with compositing managers as it provides its own framework.
</para>
  </sect3>
