Ok, so it is a little early yet to start implementing this in our

follow that model for now (ie: just alpha blits)?

Ok.
Plus, we should have XAA expose special higher level functions for

What are you guys talking about? XAA already has hooks all over

Yes, it does! Now that I am learning more about this I am happy to see
that someone saw fit to make it so XAA drivers can hook stuff at many
levels. Very cool. It should be

Granted, if you have hardware alpha blits that will be the fastest way to

supported by XFree86 do not), you can still speed up anti-aliased text

We do. We have our own device driver abstraction layer and using the low

Well, we can start with even more simple optimizations, like not doing
the compositing when the clip region is empty. Currently if

Yeah, that would help in some cases. One does have to be careful to keep
backing store working though.
