Setup XGL

/usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xgl
Comment=Start an Xgl Session
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxgl
Icon=
Type=Application

/usr/local/bin/startxgl:

#!/bin/sh
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer -xorgAc &
sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:1
exec gnome-session

Note the xorgAc option, which removes access restrictions and allows proper power management. Oops... looks like that doesn't work at the moment. Better luck next time.
