How can an +application designer hope to debug a graphics performance problem? +This talk provides a simple overview of the 2D and 3D graphics stacks +for Linux with clear diagrams, and several recipes for debugging +graphics performance problems at several layers. We conclude with an +overview of upcoming changes to the graphics stack, (in particular, +several different attempts to unify the 2D and 3D stacks). + +Presented at [linux.conf.au 2009](http://linux.conf.au) in Hobart, +Tasmania, Australia on 2009-01-21. + +# [X Acceleration that Finally Works](lca_2008) + +Meaningful hardware acceleration within the X Window System is +becoming a reality.
