Well, Xgl is alpha software, you can't possibly expect it to work
flawlessly, never mind do so on each and every hardware configuration
that's out there. Right now it's more "proof of concept" than a finished
product.
The cure ? Simple... wait a year a or two for Xgl to improve, and by
that time, maybe Xgl will be obsolete and the community will have
favoured Aiglx instead... or whatever else might have appeared in the
meantime ! :o)
