Working on it. I have done alot of cleanup to the fbdev layer. I have
moved to a xxxfb_fillrect, xxxfb_copyarea, xxxfb_imageblit to handle all
the console functions. I have written really fast software versions of
these functions for cards that lack this functionality. A exmaple. My
software fillrect function is nearly as fast as the Voodoo 3 at 1024x768
at 32 bpp. You can think of my functions as really fast or the accelerator
really slow.

renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 2. A disease.
