Right, kind of got it.... It was XGL & AIGLX I had to look into. Xgl is basically an x server (:1 here) running on top of an existing x server (:0). And AIGLX is more of an x server extension... And you need either XGL or AIGLX to run a composite window manager (like Compiz).

The thing is the XGL server not being the one to control the display, it won't let you use direct rendering.

So I guess the solution would be to use AIGLX instead... don't know why I didn't so far. (This is as simple as removing the xserver-xgl package). Everything's fine now. <3
