well, there is hardware compatability again ;)

Ontop of which GLX-Extension do you use Beryl with? Xgl or Aiglx? I 
personally favor Xgl, because it makes GLX available to a wider 
audience; for Aiglx the graphic-driver itself needs to implement 
EXT_texture_from_pixmap.

Aiglx: is favored by Redhat and Nvidia (makes multiscreen-extensions easier)

Xgl: is favored by Novell/Suse (they try to push it into Xorg)

What's your impression on that? What are your experiences?

Besides, Beryl / Compiz itself: I think it's a nice showstopper, but 
still has a way to go. There are some issues with conflicting default 
keybindings. I do like the task-switching (highlights only the chosen 
windows) and the scale-plug-in (reminds me of Mac's Expose-Method). What 
do you think of the cube-view (i.e. usability, besides that it looks nice)?

Kind regards,
Jens
