Mark is currently designing a new XAA architecture which will include significant support for Render. I'd like to see some work done on the Radeon driver as I have several of those around the house these days. It isn't tremendously hard to get significant acceleration for many operations as Render provides an extremely narrow interface within the X server. > * are there any plans to migrate API similar to libart [1], [2] to X or one > of its extensions? Carl Worth and I are busy building Xr which provides a relatively low-level postscript-like API. Xr is built on Xc which abstracts the compositing operators so that we can (eventually) emulate all of that on the client side for old broken X servers. I don't know enough about libart to say where things should be split apart, but it should be possible to at least port the bottom end of libart to Xc.
