I give, What in the world is the trick with AIGLX?

	Off and on I have tried starting compiz using the various "spells"
found here, and there, with little to no success.  I surely thought that
by now I'd get it working.

	The recommended menu starting system returns with a non informative
warning that compiz could not start.  Running the "desktop-effects"
provides a little useless information in the form:

compiz: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0

Well I don't know what GLXFBConfig is or how to set it and googling did
no good in that regard.  I did try to change the default depth to 16
colors but there was no GLXFBConfig for that depth either and likewise
setting the screensize to 1024x768 (from 1280x1024) did not help either.

I should have explained that I have a 1.5Ghz lintel box with an nVidia
5600 series graphics card.  I have a list of cards that supposedly work
with AIGLX and this card is on it.

The only other thing that might be involved is an entry in Xorg.0.log"

[scott at ipmyownlilip ~]$ grep DRI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

Two  other items of interest are that I downloaded a live CD that has
AIGLX and other features (including the latest nVidia driver) and that
does work well, though I was not too impressed with other facets of
Sabayon linux. The other is that an attempt to use livna's kmod-nvidia
module was a disaster, restarting X every time I accessed glx
(screensavers and glxgears).  AFAIK this module is not necessary (or
encouraged for that matter) to use AIGLX.  enclosed is my xorg.conf and
xorg.0.log in case that is any help.
