I am using EXA. I'm assuming at least in the case of the radeon driver
the way to specify the offscreen memory amount is using the
"FBTexPercent" option?

What is the recommended value there (128 MB VRAM in this machine) and is
it different depending on if you are using a GLX compositing manager or
not? I have it set at 100, which is either really bad or really good, I
suspect... :P
