I tried XGL on ubuntu, and I have to dissapoint you and say that Xgl
beats aiglx when it comes to Bling(c). I do not know what the current
status of aiglx is, since the fedora aiglx repository have not been
updated since april.

If you want to try aiglx on fedora, make shure that your graphics card
is supported before you install it. Atm it only works with open source
drivers like i810.
