To use Xegl it will require you to load both fbdev and DRM drivers for
your hardware. Xegl uses fbdev for things like mode setting.
Xegl should use ... EGL. Eventually some other library we define for
mode setting on top of it. Xegl should not rely on fbdev directly.
Wether the EGL implementation uses fbdev or somethign else on a given
platform should be irrelevant to Xegl.
Xegl uses OpenGL/EGL, it's not defined to use anything else. It is the
mesa implementation of OpenGL/EGL that uses fbdev. Nvidia/ATI will
likely provide OpenGL/EGL's that don't use fbdev.
One thing that bothers me about this whole discussion is the mounting
level of interface complexity.
It is not just bad as far as debugging is concerned but will also present
a barrier to easy experimentation with the code. Will we have new
developers in 5 or 10 years if the interface is so complex that it took
several years just to create it ?

There is also Xglx which is the Xgl server that runs inside X.org using GLX.
Xwgl and Xagl will be the windows and apple versions of Xgl whenever
they get written.
