Users tend to ask about AIGLX quite a bit. Why do we not have this enabled by default, where possible? Xgl is nice and a lot of people prefer it (including myself), but a lot of people prefer using AIGLX too. Having it enabled by default where possible of course also provides the possibility of switching between compiz/kwin/metacity easier too.
If not setting it up by default, perhaps we could consider having a script similar to gnome-xgl-switch for setting it up a little more easily for users.
Any thoughts?
Regards,

Going way back perhaps to 10.1 I tried compiz and Xgl under KDE. The cube rotation was quite unstable and there was only one workspace like Windows Hasta-La-Vista which I've only seen on TV thankfully. I'm just about to read the 10.2 blurb and wonder if the current version offers anything more than the single cube in the one workspace. Is it stable on KDE and is it still a hack on KDE? Regards Sid.

I was reading the releases notes for 11.0, and noticed that AIGXL will be enabled by default. I was asking myself if there is some way of disable it other than editing the .conf file by hand. I'm asking because I'm not interested in having enabled Xgl neither AIGLX.

AIGLX enabled does not mean you have compositing enabled, unlike Xgl, keeping AIGLX enabled/disabled does not make any difference.
You seem to be confusing compiz/kwin composite with Xgl/AIGLX. To enable/disable Desktop Effects is quite easy, there is a nice application with a checkbox for that, it is disabled by default.
Cheers

Ok, hope AIGLX doesn't affect the performance.
