Won't two separate X servers be too big challenge for my box? I've got an Athlon XP 3000+ (working at 2167 MHz) plus a GB of RAM. Having Xgl loaded in the background could be deadly for performance in OpenGL apps on Xorg. Please correct me if I'm wrong. > Any reason, you are using Xgl?

It works fine, as long as you can tell that Radeon works fine on Linux; I haven't got any experience with NVidia's hardware. Returning to the topic, I haven't got an idea neither whether Aiglx works with my Radeon nor why I'm not using Aiglx. When I've started to play with fancy 3D servers I was using Debian, and I found an article describing quite precisely how to get Xgl running on unstable Debian. Worked fine, so I've found Xgl a nice choice. Am I mistaken?
