        How to enable Glamor?

        I have a laptop with an NVIDIA 8400GS and Arch already has 1.0.11. How can I enable glamor acceleration? I've tried doing the same thing as with ATI but when I checked the logs it was still using EXA (no mention of glamor actually)

          Are you on X Server 1.16? That's needed compared to Radeon.

              Glamor is only enabled by default with Maxwell GPUs, that's why it's disabled with you 8400GS.

              To enable it you may try adding:

              Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"

              To your xorg conf in the Section "Device".

              Why do you want to enable glamor may I ask ?
