Well, yeah.. I know that much myself and I've already checked out where the
fallback happens (R300CheckComposite). Looks like exa calls CheckComposite in
advance to prevent switching back and forth between hardware & software
rendering.
I was hoping you could tell me the most likely places to check and/or maybe
even a suggestion for how you would go about fixing it.

As for exa - would I need to recompile the whole X to make a change to it or
can I play with it as a module?
