Bug 14161

Please attach xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

Does it work better with 2.2.0 if you set XAA in xorg.conf?

First I messed up first sentence: 2.2.0 doesnt work, but 2.1.1 works. I see 2.2.0 defaults to EXA. When I switched from EXA to XAA by  Option "AccelMethod" "XAA", everything was back to normal. I see you guys are writing new acceleration methods for Xorg, but I'd suggest to use XAA by default on older chipsets as i810, since none wont possibly be running compositing manager on such old piece of hardware anyway.

It seems that 2.2.0 driver crashes a lot when switched back to XAA instead of EXA. Especially when using vncviewer. 

log please. I wonder if it's 810 or 830.

VNC and XV cause such errors on 2.2.0 with XAA

So it's 830M, not 810.

Let's focus on EXA issue on this bug.

XAA will be obsolete soon? What can I do about EXA?

Using XAA (2.2.0) minimized mplayer (XV outpu) and restored again and then I got another crash:

Lauri, Xv crash bug has been fixed in current git master. Could you try it?

For exa performance issue, we have seperate bug to track, and the work is under way in intel-batchbuffer branch.

I fixed a major performance issue with EXA on 830 machines a month or two ago.

Lauri, ping for response...

feedback timeout, so closing.
