Hi Markus,

That's good to hear.  I'll be glad to read through your docs when I
have some time.

I think you want to start with a dumb X server with either Mark's or
Keith's shadowfb code.  You'd simply blit to the FreeRay in the
shadowfb update code.

If the 'Ray provides primitives for Screen->Screen blits or similar,
you'd probably also want to wrap some of the GCOps after they get
through shadowfb.

/I/'d start with the KDrive server and either of the fbdev or the vesa
drivers and then change all the accel code.  But I know that some
people on this list would differ.

Good luck,

                                        Juliusz
