The Direct Render Manager has to be active for 3D to work. I think 2D
xrender and
XAA should work fine, but I believe that "desktop effects" and compiz
require 3D.
EXA should work, but will likely be *very* slow without DRM/DRI. XV should work
fine without DRM/DRI, but I am not sure about XVmc.
Do you not use DRM/DRI?
