Ok but I haven't understood well: Could water plugin run with my
2001/2002 Gainward Geffo TI4200?
What is indirect rendering for U (for me is running all xgl and xorg
with the damned slow mesa library...)?
How can I link compiz to mesa's GL library? And will it go with this
solution?
I have the same problem also in a notebook with AIGLX and the videocard
is a Mobility Radeon 9200


P.S.: I can't buy a new Geffo becouse my motherboard is not PCI-E and is
not AGP 8x it only support AGP 4x...I have an old pc but it does
everithing I want...I'm not a hard gamer.

ByE all and thankU for the answers...i think that lot of U don't have so
much sparetime 4 this questions...especially who works at Novell...or
Suse...is Suse become a part of Novell?
