It's not that simple unfortunately: * It's not clear that only "ati" needs this, some other driver probably like XAANoOffscreenPixmaps too. * Also "ati" may be too vague here, you may just be talking about the "radeon" submodule. But "ati" also contain some other submodules. * The server can auto-detect the driver nowadays, most future xorg.conf will have no Driver line at all. * XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps is just a hack to improve Compiz while decreasing other stuff performance. I am not sure recommending it that much would be a good idea in the end. * EXA is the way to go, XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps should only be a temporary workaround for the time where EXA is not perfect (which may be too long howerver).
