I have no idea about performance but I've got udev and sna enabled at this time. gandalf ~ # emerge -pv xf86-video-intel These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.13 USE="dri sna udev -glamor -uxa -xvmc" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB gandalf ~ # Be forewarned, or please report back if you can, but in my case on the two Intel machines I have (one local, one my 84 year old dad uses) X11 stopped displaying anything after this update. As a quick fix I removed the xorg.conf file completely to get a desktop back. This was a couple of weeks ago. Removing xorg.conf worked on both machines and I haven't gone back to figure out what happened and how to best address it. Good luck, Mark
