I dug further. This is because VIAPreInit() forces the greedy
migration heuristic, which effectively disables composite and anything
involving offscreen pixmaps.

That still doesn't fix composite on XO-1.5 though.
Now we get failures in PrepareComposite because viaExaIsOffscreen()
always returns FALSE.

I see that viaExaIsOffscreen() calls into libdrm, it never used to. Is
that expected to work on setups where there is no DRM/DRI kernel stuff
running?

Thanks
