oh yeah, and it also uses the standard fb layer instead of mfb/cfb

/me squeals like a schoolgirl.

only problem i have with it is the Render hooks are for the 6.7 API, so this
won't give Render acceleration on 6.8.  that's not a dealbreaker though.  this
also removes the RGB overlay support, and thus xf8_32wid is obsolete.  this
pleases me greatly.

applied to head for dlloader reasons, closing.
Comment 6 Ferris McCormick 2005-01-14 05:45:43 UTC
As a note, existing code in sunffb still uses cfb:  E.g., look at ffb_bcopy.c.
Comment 7 Ferris McCormick 2005-01-14 13:27:56 UTC
I notice that with this patch installed, some applications --- xchat-2, mozilla,
xclock (for
example)--- use a different color scheme in some cases.  I am not sure what is
involved,
and I am not sure it is wrong.  It looks as if Xrender is implicated, but I
don't know enough
yet to say for sure.
