A GL compositing manager can always be accelerated on Xgl. FBOs are not
required but they're needed to accelerate drawing to redirected windows.
Most normal apps run fine without acceleration but XVideo and GLX apps
needs it for decent performance.

Xgl has no driver requirements for GLX_EXT_tfp. GLX_EXT_tfp is always
supported on Xgl. GL_ARB_texture_rectangle or
GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two should be supported to make it useful
for the compositing manager, though.
