Ah? Well, I built the xf86-video-intel package under Arch Linux and the ./configure wrote something like ?Checking which acceleration method to use by default? uxa.?
This is without passing it any option as far as I could see.

Also:

$ grep -Ei "sna|uxa" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[     6.709] (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:

Kudos to Intel for their continuous support of the Open Source community. I wish AMD, nVidia and all the mobile vendors behaved the same.
