[opensuse] Enable/Disable XGL from the command-line?
I've got a program that I'd like to run outside of xgl. Prior to openSUSE 11.0, you could run gnome-xgl-switch to disable xgl effects, but in 11.0 that command was removed. The readme says to use "xgl-switch", but that is used to change the default X server startup, and that's not what I want to do. What I want is the same effect as unchecking the "enable desktop effects box" in simple-ccsm. I want to write a startup script for the program that disables xgl and uses xrandr to change the screen resolution) before launching the program and resets both when the program terminates. I am currently running openSUSE 11.0 - giving 11.1 a few months before I upgrade.

Just in case anyone's interested, in looking at the python code for simple-ccsm it seems that the easiest way to do this is to issue: metacity --replace & Before and compiz-manager --replace & After executing the program. I did find that X-Plane does in fact prefer not having Compiz running, as it will run full screen only when it's disabled.
