.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 
 | 
						|
.B 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
 | 
						|
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 freamebuffer. 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.
