[Openchrome-users] EXA improvement.

[Thomas Hellström]

Hi!

Those of you using EXA might want to upgrade to latest openChrome 
revision and via drm 2.11.0
(if you are using DRI, of course. Earlier drm versions might block 
attempts to use these textures).

I've added a facility to use non-power-of-two aligned textures which 
should help save video memory considerably. Particularly if the screen X 
width is over 1024. As a result EXA with a composite manager will feel a 
bit faster.

Don't forget, of course, to apply the relevant patches to the X server. 
Found on the openChrome EXA wiki page.

I'm particularly interested in results from CLE266 chipsets, as they 
might not support non-power-of-two aligned textures for both texture unit.
