Ah... you were just after information about hardware acceleration. Some
where in the archive are some threads describing how to set up the Xpmac
server which does support acceleration. Also, the 2.2.12 kernel has
support for acceleration with the frame buffer server. The later should
be fairly easy to setup once the kernel and associated tools are made
official.
