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.

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.
