.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.
