The distribution's choice is AIGLX *BUT* if you really want to follow
the distribution choice and if you're going to install Edgy or earlier
release, you must not install either compiz or beryl cause none are
officially supported. If you're going to install feisty then you'll have
desktop effects include.

(I hope I am not wrong :-p )

FYI, the Ubuntu Technical Board voted recently to pass on desktop effects, be
it beryl or compiz, for feisty, deferring them to feisty+1 [1]. As you can
see from Matt Zimmerman's announcement, it was because the board felt the
software was not yet mature enough for default inclusion in the stable
distro.
