[...] The “driver” that is specified in xorg.conf is actually a relatively basic driver that performs the 2D tasks, including compositing and video acceleration. All 3D calls are passed on to Mesa. See the section about DDX (Display Driver for X) in Linux Graphics Driver Stack Explained. [...]

This is a bit out of date. Nowadays radeonhd is pretty much dead and KMS isn’t something that will happen some day but something most radeon ddx users use.

Very informative article. A question i have is where xorg’s packages fit in the picture you described?
Is xorg offering only a DDX and the rest (window system etc) are unlreated to the “graphic driver” concept ?

Excellent post. I will just suggest to add schemas to explain how the different components work together for 2D and 3D applications, with and without KMS kernel support.
