6 exa - new 2D acceleration architecture for X.Org
7
9 EXA provides a simple API for video drivers to implement for 2D accel‐
10 eration. It is a module loaded by drivers, and is not intended to be
11 loaded on its own. See your driver's manual page for how to enable EXA
12 The EXA architecture is designed to make accelerating the Render exten‐
14 sion simple and efficient, and results in various performance tradeoffs
15 compared to XAA. Some options are available for debugging performance
16 issues or driver rendering problems. They are not intended for general
17 use.
18 Option "EXANoComposite" "boolean"
20 Disables acceleration of the Composite operation, which is at
21 the heart of the Render extension. Not related to the Composite
22 extension. Default: No.
23 Option "EXANoUploadToScreen" "boolean"
25 Disables acceleration of uploading pixmap data to the freame‐
26 buffer. Default: No.
27 Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen" "boolean"
29 Disables acceleration of downloading of pixmap data from the
30 framebuffer. NOTE: Not usable with drivers which rely on Down‐
31 loadFromScreen succeeding. Default: No.
32 Option "MigrationHeuristic" "anystr"
34 Chooses an alternate pixmap migration heuristic, for debugging
35 purposes. The default is intended to be the best performing one
36 for general use, though others may help with specific use cases.
37 Available options include "always", "greedy", and "smart".
38 Default: always.
