On my system (eeepc 901, intel i945gme) intel drivers 2.6.x are REALLY slow with both UXA and EXA. I've tried different driver/kernel versions. Intel drivers 2.6.x + kernel 2.6.29 + EXA = still slow, plus video garbage when opening new windows/menu in kde Intel drivers 2.6.x + kernel 2.6.29 + UXA = X server freeze at login
intel drivers 2.6.99.903 + jaunty kernel + EXA = still slow intel drivers 2.6.99.903 + jaunty kernel + UXA = still slow, but more stable than 2.6.x (no crashes so far) intel drivers 2.6.99.903 + kernel 2.6.29.1 + EXA = seems a little faster intel drivers 2.6.99.903 + kernel 2.6.29.1 + UXA = way faster (i'd say intrepid levels, still not as smooth as hardy IMHO), seems stable (no crashes so far, kwin dekstop effects on. Kwin effects are very smooth, while with default jaunty config they are so sluggish that I have to disable them). Uxa also brings dri2 to my system. Mandriva is tracking 2.7 drivers so maybe you can have some collaboration with them, since jaunty and 2009.1 are releasing in the same period.
