A "chooser" in the GDM/XDMCP sense is a program that lists available hosts to log into (via XDMCP). I'm not aware of any program that will allow you to choose between X servers any more than I'm aware of a program that will allow you to pick MTAs. The simplest solution is to just pick one.

If you want Xgl then "Xgl [ENTER]". But again, why would you want to complicate your life with 2 different X servers? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
