Given the above, let me restate the problem.  I would like to install Xgl on 
Linux on my Dell Dimension 2350.  I would like to stay with 
Debian/Kubuntu/Ubuntu.  Can Ubuntu support Xgl?  Do I need to switch to SuSE 
or OpenSuSE?  I can sacrifice some KDE-goodness for the overly-sufficient 
eye-candy of Xgl and compiz.

Thanks, Bob
