Yes, the hw overlay patch was disabled for 8.10 because the performance seemed to be good enough, and the overlay was problematic when using compiz..

Ken, you can try enabling the patch again and recompiling the driver. t _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
