Quoting Jan de Groot <jan@jgc.homeip.net>:
I'm running the 2.6 prerelease series for a while on my laptop now. My first impressions: - EXA is even slower than it was with 2.4.3 - UXA is much faster - XAA not tested - 3D is horribly slow - Compiz doesn't draw window decorations due to some breakage in libdrm
If we want to use 2.5.x or 2.6 when it comes out, we have to grab a mesa snapshot from git master to get GEM support in mesa also.
As xorg-server 1.6 shouldn't be far away anymore, I think we can wait for the next stable release of mesa that has GEM support.
Just as I thought you have much more insight on this. I totally agree to stick with 2.4.x for now. Thanks, -T
