Hmmm, but the only tool that configures X is SaX2. What would you
propose?

This is not about configuring X. This is about configuring Desktop
Effects. People who have been here with Xgl from day one consider this X
related, all others don't.

Also, it has been decided already, that this is actually something for
the login managers. So this can even be implemented on a per-user level.

We need something like this, preferably during installation:

It doesn't make sense for NVIDIA to use AIGLX/Xgl. It's just
superfluous. Composite is enough. Since we enable AIGLX/Composite
already by default, where we think it makes sense (intel and fglrx at
the moment and Composite only for NVIDIA), we only need a tool for
enabling Xgl. The advantage is that we therefore even don't need to
(re)write xorg.conf. BTW, the help texts on the left side of this
picture are rather bogus.

I would say, partially they are just plainly wrong. Except that Xgl does
have a few open regressions ATM.
