Nah, it's a vid-card thing. XGL kinda fries direct rendering and
cheaper cards won't be able to keep up (I've got XGL/Compiz running on
my Slack box with a bargain-basement Geforce 6150; PPRacer is kinda
playable but drags ass, and Doom 3 segfaults with extreme prejudice).
For games, I usually just run a second X session with Xorg.
