here's what I made:

Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"

In hardy with these options in xorg.conf with an intel i945 card, I get a system that is about as fast as with xaa. So why should exa be disabled?

I've also added this:
INTEL_BATCH="1"
in /etc/environment

Even scrolling in firefox works great!
That's wonderful!! :))
Try it out! Maybe we can still have exa+intel in hardy!

PS: now that exa works for me I'd like to try textured video, which is disabled by ubuntu in hardy...
