We've been monitoring (and testing) this development, and providing it as an opt-in option for users who wish to use it. We evaluated enabling it last cycle but were not certain about its stability across a wide breadth of card models. We likely will try again this cycle. We are planning on an X.org stack update rather late in the cycle, and if we include SNA we believe it will be most stable with that stack; thus the lack of attention we've given it right now - any testing we do now would have to be redone with the newer code anyway. If you want to help, one thing you can do right now is to install the xorg-edgers PPA, enable SNA, and report any SNA-specific bugs you find to upstream.

Intel SNA in Raring
Hello, Today, I have tried a Raring daily build and realized that UXA is still being used as the default acceleration method for xserver-xorg-video-intel (dh_auto_configure -- --enable-sna --enable-uxa --with-default-accel=uxa). Why isn't SNA preferred in alpha Raring? Isn't the alpha period best time to test and fix SNA bugs?
