i'd like to know if DGA2 now is widely tested or not.
i mean, i can't get it work, and we should point out if the problem
is diffused or not. Since i'm using a very common linux distro (RH7.1)
is should be disappointing for a user seeing that there is a very
fast hw accelerated driver for X (X11 standard driver is terribly slow)
but he can't use it for unknown reasons.

i agree, but i know that a lot of people won't.
