You'll be pleased to know that it'll drive PixelStamp adapters. I have a
test server running 32-bit color on my PXG at home. It's faster than the
`real' frame-buffers for most things, but painfully slow for anything
involving big pixmaps (so no Gimp or colourful root window tiles). The sfb
part will also do _some_ acceleration.

There's still a *lot* let that needs to be done, so no ETA yet.
