Can one launch a rootless Xorg server in Xgl


The situation : I'm running Xgl on a Gentoo amd64 unstable laptop, with an nVidia card. I have a chrooted 32 bits env, mostly for running games through cedega, which I can't launch directly in Xgl, because of the lack of direct rendering (if I'm not mistaken), so I launch them on another display, on which I run a chrooted Xorg server. What I would like to do, is rather than having this chrooted Xorg on another virtual terminal and having to switch from one to the other with ctrl+F7 and ctrl+F8, to launch the Xorg server rootless in the same virtual terminal as Xgl.

I did man Xorg, but didn't find anything about a rootless implementation. Did I miss something ? Thanks for your help.

Well, as far as I understand, running Xnest on top of X server lacking direct rendering cannot give you any better hw support than the host-X has. So you probably use the best solution already.
