This is the same issue as in the ati driver, and the same patch applies: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19712 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=7e54c4b8acafead8de5d0dd6fdc1b619f832dd6f
At least accalerated RepeatPad would be great, basically I think its even more important RepeatNone (if that wouldn't be default). Mozilla is evaluating using RepeatPad for their images, and my Java2D XRender backend uses it a lot too heavily.
This is fixed also in radeonhd now. However, while radeon also accelerate the repeat modes radeonhd still fall back to software.
