No...Xgl is always indirect. |

What graphics hardware are you using? If it is anything but ATI, you |
| 8 |
should be able to use the aiglx extensions in current (7.1) versions |
| 9 |
of x.org to get beryl working nicely with direct rendering and video |
| 10 |
overlays. |

I don't know how to do this with GDM, but the easiest way to |
| 18 |
accomplish this would be to have gdm manage two separate X sessions, |
| 19 |
one with XGL and the other without, to run on two virtual consoles. |
| 20 |
You could then switch between them with Ctrl-Alt-Fn sequence. |

Note that logging in to any display manager doesn't restart the X |
| 23 |
server, it just starts a session on whatever server the display |
| 24 |
manager itself is displayed on. So there isn't really any way to |
| 25 |
change what X server is running from the display manager. |
