+      <para>
+        Glamor is an acceleration library which uses cards' 3D capabilities
+        to accelerate 2D rendering. Glamor acceleration is enabled by default
+        for the new <quote>Maxwell</quote> GPU's. According to the
+        documentation, Glamor acceleration can be used with other chips as
+        well, but that does not seem functional yet.
