Intel Sandy Bridge UXA SNA GLAMOR Testing of xf86-video-intel DDX Git master as of 19 April with stock UXA, Intel SNA (--enable-sna), and Intel DDX with Git master of GLAMOR acceleration enabled as of 19 April 2012 along with Git master of Mesa and the latest Linux 3.4 development kernel throughout. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com looking at the performance impact of stock UXA 2D X.Org acceleration versus SNA (Sandy Bridge New Acceleration) versus Glamor OpenGL acceleration. Intel Ivy Bridge benchmarks of these 2D acceleration means on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS are forthcoming on Phoronix.
