It 9 is a module loaded by drivers, and is not intended to be loaded on its own. 10 See your driver's manual page for how to enable 11 .BR EXA . 12 .PP 13 The 14 .B EXA 15 architecture is designed to make accelerating the Render extension simple and 16 efficient, and results in various performance tradeoffs compared to XAA. Some 17 xorg.conf options are available for debugging performance issues or 18 driver rendering problems. They are not intended for general use. 19 .TP 20 .BI "Option \*qEXANoComposite\*q \*q" boolean \*q 21 Disables acceleration of the Composite operation, which is at the heart of 22 the Render extension. Not related to the Composite extension. Default: No. 23 .TP 24 .BI "Option \*qEXANoUploadToScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q 25 Disables acceleration of uploading pixmap data to the framebuffer. Default: No. 26 .TP 27 .BI "Option \*qEXANoDownloadFromScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q 28 Disables acceleration of downloading of pixmap data from the framebuffer. 29 .B NOTE: 30 Not usable with drivers which rely on DownloadFromScreen succeeding. 31 Default: No. 32 .TP 33 .BI "Option \*qMigrationHeuristic\*q \*q" anystr \*q 34 Chooses an alternate pixmap migration heuristic, for debugging purposes. The 35 default is intended to be the best performing one for general use, though others 36 may help with specific use cases. Available options include \*qalways\*q, 37 \*qgreedy\*q, and \*qsmart\*q. Default: always. 38 .SH "SEE ALSO" 39 .BR Xorg (@appmansuffix@), 40 .BR xorg.conf(@filemansuffix@). 41 .SH AUTHORS 42 Authors include: Keith Packard, Eric Anholt, Zack Rusin, and Michel D\(:anzer
