.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: smart.
