T2 Linux Restores XAA In Xorg, Making 2D Graphics Fast Again T2 Linux Revives XAA Acceleration in Xorg, Revitalizing 2D Graphics Performance In a significant development for Linux users with legacy hardware, the T2 Linux project has successfully restored the X Acceleration Architecture (XAA) within the Xorg server This move addresses long-standing performance bottlenecks in 2D graphics rendering, particularly on older systems where modern acceleration
Undeleted XAA, making X up to gt;200x faster Accelerated Again The history of the Unix and Linux graphics stack was built on the hard work by hundreds of volunteers: from the network-transparent design of X11 at MIT, through the acceleration era of XFree86, into the modularization and compositing transition under Xorg, and finally toward the buffer-centric model of Wayland
XAA In X. Org Has Finally Met Its Executioner - Phoronix The XAA 2D acceleration architecture is finally set to be stripped out of X Org Server 1 13 and upstream open-source X Org drivers The old and crusty XAA, the XFree86 Acceleration Architecture, is finally set to be laid to rest as X Org developers cheer on its death
Hardware Acceleration and Driver-Specific Tweaks in Xorg As with many subsystems in Linux, hardware acceleration in Xorg is constantly evolving, and users must stay current with developments in drivers, kernel versions, and desktop environments to ensure continued performance and compatibility
