I used the default Xorg 7.1 that ships with Edgy, and Compiz & friends from Quinnstorms Edgy repositories.

    So is AIGLX standard in Xorg 7.1? Or do you need to install it manually?
    I got Compiz working with XGL, using the Xorg that comes with Dapper. I followed the instructions at http://www.compiz.net/topic-389-1.html :)
