As it stands, it requires recompiling the whole stack to enable DRI2
acceleration as well as using AUR packages. While this obviously is
supported by the packages, I don't consider it "officially supported by
Arch". Even the wiki says so. I'm talking about real official Arch
support with supported packages now that KMS drivers are out of staging.
