Running the client out of the box under XGL/Beryl crashes the Xserver:

lastrun.log:

2006-10-26T16:43:24Z INFO: createContext: creating window 1102x721x32
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
The application '<unknown>' lost its connection to the display :1.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.


Uncommenting "export LL_GL_BASICEXT=x" in the secondlife script results in a working SL client:

Nice :-)
I don't know if this is of any interest. Just wanted to share...

My System:
Pentium M 1,6
512MB Ram
ATI X600 (8.29.6)

Thanks for sharing that info - anyone else using 1.12.3.4 with aiglx / xgl + compiz on Dapper or Edgy? ATI or Nvidia? Do you see differences in performance compared to Xorg (especially on somewhat slower cards)?
