Wil,

	You got me here. What do you mean EXA v. XAA? How do I change to test? I have 
tested both the radeon and radeonh drivers and can't tell much of a 
difference, if any. You also suggest trying the xf86-video-ati. Is it 
supposedly faster than the radeon and radeonhd drivers? I'll poke around some 
more, but if you have a few extra bits of info on it, I'd appreciate it. 
Thanks.
