The acceleration code in our sunffb driver was taken from Xorg so we  
got XAA and hw-accelerated alpha blending. We had to add a bunch of  
bug fixes and workarounds though.

So, I read that sbus support is back in xorg, I guess I better port  
all our nice little additions over and feed them back. Not sure if  
they care about cg6 acceleration, sparcbook graphics or the AG-10e  
though.

have fun
