EXA has other advantages over XAA as well. If you use the composite extension with XAA, xv output won't work, i.e. mplayer and vlc will just show black frames. With EXA, you can use composite and mplayer/vlc will work as well. This behaviour may be specific to the intel driver though, I'm not sure. Stefan
