| .SH NAME
 | |
| exa \- new 2D acceleration architecture for X.Org
 | |
| .SH DESCRIPTION
 | |
| .B 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
 | |
| .BR EXA .
 | |
| .PP
 | |
| The
 | |
| .B 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.
 | |
| .TP
 | |
| .BI "Option \*qEXANoComposite\*q \*q" boolean \*q
 | |
| Disables acceleration of the Composite operation, which is at the heart of
 | |
| the Render extension.  Not related to the Composite extension.  Default: No.
 | |
| .TP
 | |
| .BI "Option \*qEXANoUploadToScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
 | |
| Disables acceleration of uploading pixmap data to the framebuffer. Default: No.
 | |
| .TP
 | |
| .BI "Option \*qEXANoDownloadFromScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
 | |
| Disables acceleration of downloading of pixmap data from the framebuffer.
 | |
| .B NOTE:
 | |
| Not usable with drivers which rely on DownloadFromScreen succeeding.
 | |
| Default: No.
 | |
| .TP
 | |
| .BI "Option \*qMigrationHeuristic\*q \*q" anystr \*q
 | |
| 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 \*qalways\*q,
 | |
| \*qgreedy\*q, and \*qsmart\*q.  Default: always.
