I've followed the instructions in the Arch wiki to the 'T', and also tried on a separate occasion to follow the Gentoo wiki directions for getting GDM to work with XGL; neither has helped me. When I boot up, GDM tries to load (I get the watch-face cursor), but it doesn't load... it waits for a while, then flashes to a tty and back again, does this waiting & flashing twice more, then I get an 'Xserver failed to start' BSOD.
I can nest an XGL Xserver in a 'startx'd gnome instance no problem, and everything works great. Also, I've got XGL working with KDE flawlessly, using KDM, a few days ago. GDM's being a real bugger though, and I can't think how to fix it :shock:
Any suggestions? The log in /var/log/gdm is of no use.

Use the second method so that GDM starts on a regular X server
I dont use XGL myself cause its very unstable.. but i might try it (or not cause i just read all the problems on the bottom.. its really not worth the fun i can have lol)

Cheers for that russianpirate, I'd forgotten there was another method of getting it to work... it's irritating that it won't work normally with GDM though :?
