Hello,

here's a patch to add Xrender support and hardware-accelerated alpha
blending to XFree's sunffb driver:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/macallan/sparc64/ffb_render.tar.bz2

The other patch is for the framebuffer module which contains most of the
machine-independent rendering code and fixes a bug which would lead to
messed up colours when rendering text to a non-RGB framebuffer ( like
the ffb ) Both patches are for -current xsrc and you need to build X
natively, via make World. The changes in src/x11 would be trivial
though, just add a few more include paths.

Pro: this will greatly speed up things like gtk2 and KDE.=20
Con: it no longer supports 8 and 24 bit visuals at the same time ( as
far as I can tell that's a design limitation in XAA but I may be wrong.
The old driver didn't use XAA but for Xrender we need it )

So please test this and tell me what happens. It certainly works for me,
I'm using it for a couple days now but as usual that doesn't mean a lot
;)

have fun
Michael
