Where is this suggestion mentioned? Is there a bug number? I cannot use EXA on my laptop because of an old bug with xorg-ati-radeon that gives a CPU spike with EXA. Furthermore, when I experimented a small bit with using EXA (X and fvwm was very unresponsive, but it doesn't crash), most of the sites with the visual glitch problem were "fixed", but a few different ones started having a different glitch, and a few of the sites that had a glitch now has a more minor, less noticeable glitch. I would like to track this bug/forum post to see if a more mature solution is proposed. W -- "If I could choose between a second brain and a detachable stomach, I would definitely choose the stomach.
