I don't think anyone gets direct rendering. Indirect rendering is it for
XGL, as it's a nested server. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's
not accelerated though - nVidia's drivers may provide accelerated
indirect rendering, but I'm not sure. I know there is work underway in
the open-source drivers to add accelerated indirect rendering.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here ...
