Will this improve the chances of AIGLX support with VIA's?  I only ask
because we've just switched over to Fedora from Windows at our school
and one of the main things that appeals to the students is compiz.
Right now I've got it working correctly on our three or four-year-old
nVidia cards and brand new Intel cards, but our two or three year old
VIA cards aren't supported.
