FWIW, EXA (as opposed to XAA) will eventually become the default. It may= =20 be on ~arch xorg-server/xf86-video-ati already, I don't know as I've been= =20 using EXA for years, now, since I first started playing with composite=20 (back when it was still buggy and could crash X on occasion), back in=20 early 2006, KDE 3.5.1 and xorg 7.0. Yes, it does make a BIG difference. But as I said, it was originally=20 buggy, so wasn't the default. With the stable xorg and drivers, it's=20 obviously still not the default, but it will be eventually, as XAA is=20 being deprecated and may eventually be removed. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
