Accel

NA

Enables XAA (X Acceleration

 

 

Architecture), a mechanism that

 

 

makes video cards' 2D hardware

 

 

acceleration available to the

 

 

Xserver. This option is on by

 

 

default, but it may be necessary to

 

 

turn it off if there are bugs in the

 

 

driver. There are many options to

 

 

disable specific accelerated

 

 

operations, listed below. Note that

 

 

disabling an operation will have no

 

 

effect if the operation is not

 

 

accelerated (whether due to lack of

 

 

support in the hardware or in the

 

 

driver). Source: XF86Config man

Each Screen section must contain one or more Display subsections. Those subsections provide depth configuration information, and the one chosen depends on the depth that is being used for the screen. The Display subsection format is described in the section below.

“Display” subsection

The Screen sections include one or more Display subsections. One Display subsection may be provided for each depth that the server supports. The size of the virtual screen the server may also be specified.
