HOWTO: Increase video performance

[leetone]

On some reasons by default these modules are not present in X11 config, but, to the measure for me these modules in 2 times accelerate the capacity of performance.
Add this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # If you have VESA driver, comment this.
Load "int10"
Load "vbe"
EndSection

Enjoy! :)

I assume this HOWTO is for Hardy users, since the xorg.conf generated by Gutsy and prior versions has this section.

Unfortunately, your guide doesn't improve performance at all - it doesn't do anything at all, in fact. Xorg autodetects these modules by default. If you don't believe me, delete the section, restart X and then check your log, e.g.:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i extmod

You'll see that every module gets loaded (the exception is "bitmap", which does not appear in the log whether loaded or not).
