[Intel-gfx] 2D accel for i915/i5-661?

[Mark Knecht]

What is the correct (best?) way to enable 2D acceleration for the i915
driver? Core i5-661 processor, Intel DH55HC motherboard?

I originally thought EXA but some Gentoo docs here:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA

suggested UXA with "Tiling" "False"

mark at firefly ~/Desktop $ grep "acceleration architecture" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
mark at firefly ~/Desktop $ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes
mark at firefly ~/Desktop $ grep "AIGLX enabled" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) AIGLX enabled
mark at firefly ~/Desktop $

so I don't see anything for acceleration architecture.

Thanks,
Mark
