+.SH NAME
+exa \- new 2D acceleration architecture for X.Org
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B EXA
+provides a simple API for video drivers to implement for 2D acceleration. It
+is a module loaded by drivers, and is not intended to be loaded on its own.
+See your driver's manual page for how to enable
+.BR EXA .
+.PP
+The
+.B EXA
+architecture is designed to make accelerating the Render extension simple and
+efficient, and results in various performance tradeoffs compared to XAA. Some
+__xconfigfile__ options are available for debugging performance issues or
+driver rendering problems. They are not intended for general use.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qEXANoComposite\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disables acceleration of the Composite operation, which is at the heart of
+the Render extension. Not related to the Composite extension. Default: No.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qEXANoUploadToScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disables acceleration of uploading pixmap data to the framebuffer. Default: No.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qEXANoDownloadFromScreen\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disables acceleration of downloading of pixmap data from the framebuffer.
+.B NOTE:
+Not usable with drivers which rely on DownloadFromScreen succeeding.
+Default: No.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qMigrationHeuristic\*q \*q" anystr \*q
+Chooses an alternate pixmap migration heuristic, for debugging purposes. The
+default is intended to be the best performing one for general use, though others
+may help with specific use cases. Available options include \*qalways\*q,
+\*qgreedy\*q, and \*qsmart\*q. Default: always.
