Snapshot 2.99.901 (2013-08-04)
==============================
What's this? A pre-release snapshot of an upcoming 3.0 major release?
What could be the big new feature about to land? SNA by default!
Not only that, we also have a preview of the XMir integration patches.
Whilst we consider the SNA acceleration method to be ready to take over
from UXA (the current acceleration method), it still remains possible to
switch over to the old method with the following xorg.conf snippet:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection
The promise of SNA is that it improves the user experience by providing a
faster, more fluid, desktop, that is both more power efficient and less
prone to crashes than UXA. If it still fails to meet your expections,
please file bugs!
