Yep. Keith actually develops ``these things'' for kdrive (Tiny X)
first, and only then ports to the XFree86 server.
ET> 2. XFree 4.2 has support for shaped windows, but what about alphablending

ET> support shaped windows
Both XFree86 and kdrive support shaped windows. Neither supports
translucent windows. Yet.
ET> 3. AFAIK DGA offers support for direct framebuffer access
Kdrive does not support DGA as far as I know. KDrive does support the
MIT-SHM extension, though, which is usually good enough for clients
that wish to do their own rendering.
ET> 4. Does TinyX support the XFRee hw acceleration framework (XAA?),
No. Which doesn't mean that kdrive drivers cannot be accelerated --
they just cannot use XAA.
Note that kdrive comes with a bucketful of accelerated drivers.
