It would be welcome, but the ffb code in XFree86 is rather less well 
structured than other drivers; it uses much of the insides of cfb and 
doesn't use XAA.  Someone with the hardware, an interest and the ability
would need to spend some time getting the driver moved from cfb to fb.

Render only accelerates client-side fonts.  Without render, TrueType fonts 
within the X server work fine, and client-side fonts (using current CVS) 
are drawn using core functions (which is slower, but still usable).
