I would perhaps suggest that we should perhaps drop XShm support (or
at least add a registry key for it and disable it perhaps on 'modern
drivers'). What do you guys think?

      

Could you do some benchmarking? You can disable XShm support by
passing "--without-xshm" to configure.

    

It would be useful if some people using Nvidia, intel or EXA based
drivers could compare the results of the test app attached to this
mail with and without XShm. A test on ATI fglrx is not useful at this
point because it doesn't use an EXA-like architecture yet and they
don't accelerate XRender in hardware yet.

Thanks,
