It's not surprising that uxa is not stable in 2.6.0 -- it's not the default setting. (we hope uxa would be stabilized in next release) But did you file bugs for your uxa issues? I only see you've filed bug#19738 for the exa performance issue. > and 3D is still unstable in 2.6.1/git master (I still get xserver > hang - image just freezes - after playing a while in any 3D game). I didn't see this issue. Could you file a bug, according to http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html? > So, IMO, it's unfair to call 2008Q4 release "stable" and "recommended > to ordinary users/OSVs", at least for gma950 users. > > Regards > Vasily Thanks for your testing.
