Running Nexuiz on Xgl

[Dokujisan]

I just installed ubuntu (6.10 edgy) and now I'm looking for clear instructions for AIGLX.

I can find various HOWTO's or tutorials, but they basically turn into discussions where various people say things like "yeah, that worked for me, but it screwed something up" or "no, that didn't work". Can anyone point me to a tried and true howto/tutorial for AIGLX on Ubunty?

Thanks

if I understand correctly... compiz = Nvidia and beryl = ATI?
I have an Nvidia GeForce FX Go5600

No, this is all very confusing partly because this stuff is all very cutting edge so isn't entirely stable or documented. Compiz was a compositing window manager (a WM that uses all the OpenGL effects offered by a compatible X server) developed by Novell for use in SUSE/NLD. For some reason Novell loves Gnome (despite SUSE being historically KDE) and decided that Compiz had to be tied to GConf. The main developer of it also seems to have the attitude that there is nothing else to change which is a good signal that a fork is needed. Compiz-qunnstorm forked from it and then renamed itself the Beryl project. Beryl is not tied to GConf and is more devloped in other areas. Most people who have used both seem to prefer Beryl. It's a fairly obvious choice.
