exa - new 2D acceleration architecture for X.Org
EXA provides a simple API for video drivers to implement for 2D
acceleration. It is a module loaded by drivers, and is not intended to be
loaded on its own. See your driver's manual page for how to enable
EXA.
The
EXA architecture is designed to make accelerating the Render
extension simple and efficient, and results in various performance tradeoffs
compared to XAA. Some xorg.conf options are available for debugging
performance issues or driver rendering problems. They are not intended for
general use.
-
Option "EXANoComposite"
"boolean"
- Disables acceleration of the Composite operation, which is
at the heart of the Render extension. Not related to the Composite
extension. Default: No.
-
Option "EXANoUploadToScreen"
"boolean"
- Disables acceleration of uploading pixmap data to the
framebuffer. Default: No.
-
Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen"
"boolean"
- Disables acceleration of downloading of pixmap data from
the framebuffer. NOTE: Not usable with drivers which rely on
DownloadFromScreen succeeding. Default: No.
-
Option "MigrationHeuristic"
"anystr"
- Chooses an alternate pixmap migration heuristic, for
debugging purposes. The default is intended to be the best performing one
for general use, though others may help with specific use cases. Available
options include "always", "greedy", and
"smart". Default: always.
