Update the ENTIRE Part VI (X/X Libraries/Window Managers) Section.
Note that I will have to return to QT5 when I work on updating KDE5
And the same applies to WebkitGTK when I update GNOME.

141
142 <para>
143 The SandyBridge New Acceleration (SNA) code is intended to replace the
144 old UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture), but it is a large body of code
145 and sometimes causes problems. In particular, when a system is built
146 with gcc-5 and kernel headers from linux-4.0, trying to run this driver
147 using SNA will cause a segfault on some, or perhaps all, of the
148 supported chips if a 4.0 or newer kernel is used (a 3.19.0 kernel, also
149 built with gcc-5, worked ok). However, the version of the code in the VCS
150 listed above has been tested successfully with both capabilities.
