NAME
     exa - new 2D acceleration architecture for X.Org

DESCRIPTION
     EXA  provides  a simple API for video drivers to implement for 2D accelera-
     tion.  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 is-
     sues 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 exten-
	    sion.  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 frame-
	    buffer.  NOTE: Not usable with drivers which rely  on  DownloadFrom-
	    Screen succeeding.	Default: No.

     Option "MigrationHeuristic" "anystr"
	    Chooses  an alternate pixmap migration heuristic, for debugging pur-
	    poses.  The default is intended to be the best  performing	one  for
	    general use, though others may help with specific use cases.  Avail-
	    able  options include "always", "greedy", and "smart".  Default: al-
	    ways.
