The three flavors: ~ Classic. EXA handles offscreen pixmaps itself. Simple, except when it breaks. ~ Driver. EXA lets the driver control pixmap allocation and placement. Great if you have a memory manager. ~ Mixed. Like driver, but certain things have been tweaked to optimize certain kinds of acceleration in a way that was never really explained to me. To go from driver to mixed is pretty simple; here's an example commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=577ff3ce922e457cc32f80d4365cb1da81552e72 ~ C. -- When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir? ~ Keynes Corbin Simpson <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
