Thanks for your reply. Are you saying that I should be able to use Xevie 
connecting simply to the default display (Xgl)? This does not seem to be 
working for me. Making Xevie requests generates an X error stating that Xevie 
is not supported. xdpyinfo confirms this, as XEVIE is not in the extensions 
list. When running xdpyinfo -display :0.0 (normal X server) XEVIE does appear 
in the extensions list.

Am I simply running a too old version of Xgl? Or should that not be an 
issue... My Xgl package version is "7.0.0.git.20060725-0ubuntu2.1". To build 
the xorg sources from git I appearently need to upgrade to libdrm 2.3 which I 
fear will mess things up (no packages yet).

Thanks,

Heinrich
