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: http://img.linuxexpres.cz/2007/05/sabayon/2.png
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.
