According to the Ubuntu Wiki - Composite Manager - XGL it won’t work properly if you use

export DISPLAY=:0

XGL is run as a separate X server, so it must be run on DISPLAY=:1 as the ordinary X.Org sever needs to be run on DISPLAY=:0.

This is only if you want the XGL session to be an option at login. (Method A)

The other method (Method B) is to use XGL as the default X server. In this case XGL is on DISPLAY=:0 and X.Org on DISPLAY=:93. This method doesn’t use that script, nor does it allow you to simply change between XGL and X.Org.

Then I log out, freeing :0 and :1. Other users cannot get this to work. If I change the DISPLAY to :0 in both instances in the script, it works, but the graphics are more sluggish. How can I enable other users to use the script as written? I’m running problems with this part of the script:

Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:fbo -accel glx:pbuffer &
