Thanks for the suggestion, both fix the problem... I still don't know what they
do, which one should I use, and why it didn't work before, though!! ;) A quick
guess looking at i810(4) is that AccelMethod XAA uses an old accelleration
method, while the first one (which I couldn't find) probably disables some
features of EXA... Right? So, what's the deal? And how comes it's broken with
Exa and Composite? (whatever that is) ;)

Thanks!!
