Nope, it's as Michel said: the fbdev driver (X server speak) just dumps
pixels to the framebuffer, totally unaccelerated. The UseFBDev option
makes the X ser

Framebuffer devices don't export any acceleration interface to userland yet so
there's nothing the fbdev driver could use...

No, I meant to write the fbdev driver. Sorry for the confusion.

Only with the r128
X11perf reportedly is able to benchmark 2-d performance.
would the r128 frame buffer kernel module be accelerrated? (included with
2.4)

Whether or not you get accelleration in the fbdev depends on whether the
framebuffer driver you're using supports it, and whether you enable it as a
kernel option when you boot your machine.
On the x86, the VESA2 framebuffer driver is easy to set up but does not have
accelleration.

The fbdev? I am confused. Is this fbdev the same as the UseFBdev with the
r128 driver?
Is dri still supported under fbdev or usefbdev?

Well, it's about... zero. :) It's just an option for the same driver,
which has no impact on performance.

Are there any noticable speed differences between UseFBDev and the driver
itself?
I remember using fbdev in 4.0 with xpilot. My machine can play unreal and
create images with photoshop in MacOS perfectly, but skips in xpilot.
