The modesetting driver only works with a KMS kernel driver. Ewen currently cannot be using a KMS kernel driver, otherwise the Xorg mga driver couldn't work. If he was using a KMS kernel driver, Xorg would automatically use the modesetting driver. > Per my understanding the leak could specifically be in Matrox DDX > driver — if this is the case, by replacing it with modesetting DDX > you'd keep the performance and get rid of leaks.

The modesetting driver can only provide hardware acceleration via glamor, which requires decent EGL and OpenGL support, which is unlikely to exist for this GPU. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
