Everything should work fine except that there will be no way for downgrading pixman. Patched xserver will show bad image artefacts on the use of overlapped blits when run with older unpatched versions of pixman. The other way around is always fine. Patches for pixman have no effect on interoperability with any versions of xserver. > I suspect overlapped blits will also benefit from a cached framebuffer > as well, right? Yes, at least for me the best type of 'non-3d-accelerated desktop' experience on OMAP3 devices can be achieved with write-through cached 16bpp framebuffer (and ShadowFB option explicitly disabled). But it still needs a few more NEON optimizations to address all the bottlenecks. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka
