interesting.  obviously i'm curious about what comes of that.  for some
reason, i was thinking TrueType fonts required DRI to be rendedered.

Or maybe I'm thinking anti-aliased fonts need DRI...

Either way I have access to an Voodoo3 PCI and a NVidia DDR AGP, so I'm
willing to help test stuff.

I think what we really need is a project(1) "Accelerated X" or "Enhanced
X" or whatever to help better document using X, as to address the
frequent X11 related questions in port-i386@ and netbsd-help@,
including, but not limted to:

*) OpenGL / DRI
*) MTRR 
*) XV / X-Video extension
*) Xinerama Extension
*) DGA
*) Playing media, pkgsrc apps, etc.  - DVD, MPEG, DiVx, AVI
*) TV Tuner Cards
*) True Type / Anti-Aliased Fonts
*) Scrollwheel, etc.
*) Other misc X Features (xdm, dpms, vesa, etc.)

The key is to somehow keep it platform independant based on the
features... everything written so far is i386centric.

Anyone else interested?
