The upgrade to modular X went pretty well for me except for the fact that I
had to install the package "xorg-x11-xauth" manually because the yum update
apparently didn't pick that up.
What I immediately after reboot though was how slow my desktop has become.
Moving around a window on the desktop is now very jerky. Before I saw the
usual gtk refresh artifacts but the movement of the window itself was
smooth. I have DRI disabled because I don't care about 3D and here is the
device config I'm running right now:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon 9500 Pro"
# Option "RenderAccel" "on"
# Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
# Option "BackingStore" "on"
EndSection
According to the log XAA is enabled:
...
