I believe that the original bug here (Xgl being unaccelerated due to it
starting before fglrx has set up its 3D stuff) has been fixed by
xserver-xgl version 1:1.1.99.1~git20070727-0ubuntu2. If anyone still
has unaccelerated Xgl on fglrx with compiz (Xgl+metacity is slow on
fglrx due to bugs in the fglrx drivers), please feel free to reopen this
bug.
Comments here which are *not* bugs:
1) fgl_glxgears doesn't work: This is a problem with the way fgl_glxgears
works. It is not (as far as I can tell) an Xgl bug, nor does it indicate that
3D acceleration won't work.
2) glxinfo returns "Direct rendering: no": This is not a bug. 3D acceleration
under Xgl *must* go through the Xgl server (hence, "indirect"). However, this
does not mean that 3D acceleration doesn't work. There is a small 3D
performance penalty involved, but it is quite small.
3) 3D apps don't work under Wine: This is not an Xgl bug. This is a bug in
Wine for Direct3D apps (Wine doesn't believe that it can do 3D under Xgl, even
though it can), and a stupid design for Windows OpenGL apps (which believe
"direct rendering: no" means no OpenGL).
The "no Xinerama under Xgl" comment should also be fixed by
1:1.1.99.1~git20070727-0ubuntu2. If it isn't, please open a *new* bug.
** Changed in: xserver-xgl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
