The distribution's choice is AIGLX *BUT* if you really want to follow 
the distribution choice and if you're going to install Edgy or earlier 
release, you must not install either compiz or beryl cause none are 
officially supported. If you're going to install feisty then you'll have 
desktop effects include.
