Actually, KMS also gives EXA some extra acceleration options when used with hw acceleration. You might want to try to get it and see if it helps. Are you aware of any reason it might not be enabled? If not, attach a dmesg log, a xorg.log and a "GL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" and I could take a look for you. Yours, Michael de Lang
