If this is so, I think replacing the DGA driver, or at least getting analternative (other than plain X11) would be a good idea.

Due to XFree's total ambiguousness on subjects, I can't really tell whatthey mean. Maybe they mean DGA1 only? Yeah, it would be nice if theyclarrified somewhere what those "other ways" are.. I doubt they meanOpenGL since, AFAIK, OpenGL has shortcomings that DGA2 doesn't (fullaccess to VRAM, fast(er) reading/writing to VRAM, etc)
