Got multi-depth (8, 24), many visuals (truecolordirectcolorpseudocolorstaticgreyetc), and hw accelerated double-buffering working with CreatorCreator3D. Just have to nail a few bugs then it's off to DRIDRM direct 3d rendering. Paul Oakenfold is the ruler.

The PPPOEPPPOX patches are in 2.3.x, should show up in Linus's next pre-patch. Starting looking into overlay support for FFB in xf86-4.0, unfortunately the xf40 overlay layer lacks the concept of window-id's for the 8-bit overlay (essentially, WIDs give you N 8-bit colormaps to use, where N is the number of window IDs supported by the ramdac) so we'll just use one WID for xf86-4.0 until this is cleared up.

Suddenly I realized that this isn't what I should be working on and as such I have dropped this work for a while, but I sent off a snapshot of the work to Stephen Tweedie in case he wishes to play with it. Playing with Jens's new elevator stuff, on my box the first run looks really bad... hope that's just a cold first run issue because he's sent this stuff off to Linus already. Wonder what...
