Not only *can* you have xorg and xgl installed side by side, you *want* |
| 16 |
to have xorg available. IME, Xgl+Compiz is nowhere near stable enough |
| 17 |
for normal use. I played around with Xgl, following the Xgl howto, about |
| 18 |
a week ago, went "ooh! shiny!" then backed out when I couldn't get |
| 19 |
compiz to go without crashing for more than about ten minutes with |
| 20 |
normal use. |

Admittedly, this is based on one snapshot, and maybe some other people's |
| 23 |
experiences are better, but it doesn't seem ready yet. |
