I believe the pain is self-inflicted in Ubuntu. The responsible patch is 104_use_exa.patch. I hope that upstream will help us out of this with a proper patch that selects EXA by default but drops back to XAA in low-memory situations.

Stay tuned.

BTW, if there is anybody who can write proper code, can you pleaes take a look at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=26476 (104_use_exa.patch) and make it work more like http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=25890 ?
