Yeah, you are right. Although, in Debian 8 (and probably many other distros) X.org uses UXA acceleration by default, unless you specifically configure SNA. This experience from Debian 8 LXDE live. Maybe SNA is not yet considered stable or production ready? Just in case I am going to install the related ports (dri, libGL and apps that use them) with -g in /etc/make.conf flag and provide core dumps. It is the least I can do to help debug why UXA makes apps crash on my laptop. Actually, this is the last testing scenario I can come up with off the top off my head. I'll probably start working on this tomorrow after I wake up. Many thanks to our developer Jean-Sébastien Pédron for developing the new driver :) You are doing a great job! And many thanks to all the testers in this mailing list for contributing. These mails make a very interesting read and I've learned quite a lot. -- Arto Pekkanen
