What exactly are you refering to with Xgl? The Xserver built on top of
OpenGL (from David Reveman)? Then on the one hand you won't notice that
you will run on OpenGL, as this is abstracted by the X layer, on the
other hand there is no special interface to run your own OpenGL commands
on the same context in your program. Just create an OpenGL context as
usual - and hope that we get accelerated direct OpenGL rendering inside
Xgl done soon |-) Right now only indirect rendering is implemented.

Hope this helps at all
