[opensuse] Compiz XGL and NVIDIA (without AIGLX)

7 May 2008


      Before I begin, I did follow numerous wiki pages on XGL/AIGLX and compiz 
- most of them assume you are going to use AIGLX when running NVIDIA 
hardware.
I had compiz installed (from instructions on the opensuse wiki pages), 
using AIGLX and closed NVIDIA driver. Worked great.
After reading that XGL may be faster that AIGLX, I tried to get it to 
work.  Installed xgl, removed Composite from xorg, and enabled xgl with 
gnome-xgl-switch.   But after a afternoon of fiddling it just didnt want 
to work.
So, I disabled compiz (touch the file in 
~/.config/compiz/compiz-disable), removed the Autostart fusion-icon link 
in .kde/Autostart.
But this morning after a reboot (I usually suspend to disk) I have 
XGL/compiz running? Where is it started from? I guess somewhere in gnome 
world (I run KDE).
Btw, it runs lightning fast, much faster than AIGLX (is this a driver 
issue, Im on the laterst stable nvidia driver).
