The X server uses the vesa driver, which is equivalent to i810 for modesetting, no 3d support, no overlays, and no accelerated blits (which is dying anyway). Am I right in thinking that after removal of XAA, the legacy i810 offers no more functionality or performance than is available through VESA? -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
