well improve - that depends on your POV. :) so far in very limited
circumstances does it improve. you do lose on rendering quality atm and there
are artifacvts that do need clearing up - mind u - it has massively uimproved
on the radeon drivers with exa, but it was flakey getting it up and going. x
memory mamagment and sharing video ram with dri are a big issue here as is
general driver support for multiple chipsets. but in the very long run xrender
is a good bet. it has polishing left.
