It can, theoretically, work with any GL drivers that provide that extension, including the XGL server, the open source drivers with AIGLX, and the closed source nVidia drivers (with, or without, direct rendering). As for XGL. Even if it is part of xorg now, it's still not in the ports tree. xorg-server does not provide it and, as of earlier this week, there was no separate port for it. In fact, 'locate -i xgl' on my system turns up nothing. Adam
