Greg et al,
http://en.opensuse.org/Using_Xgl_on_SUSE_Linux
Steps your through the process. It is unclear to me if the i830 is
supported. Best thing to do is try. The i845 is supported.
So...these instructions say to install the NVIDIA drivers. I can do that
but I'd just like to make sure this applies even if you don't have an
NVIDIA graphics chipset. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon in my ThinkPad
R40. Perhaps I'm asking too much, but I'd like this to work under VMWare
Workstation v5.5.1. In this case, SuSE 10.1 sees the graphics card as
"VMWare Inc VMWARE0405". Is this Xgl still still as "experimental" as
these docs make it sound? I thought maybe it came installed in SuSE 10.1
by default and took advantage of most graphics cards that do OpenGL.
