This sounds great!

Do you have any code available?

does uio support wait-for-interrupt?

I am not sure about uio.  Sorry.

The main problem is the g2d fifo is 32 commands deep.  And some of the 
x11perf tests are running in our XAA s3c driver @ ~2e6 ops/sec.  That is is 
lot of interrupts for user or kernel context.  :-)   

Sometimes polling is better.  1/2 :-)  

We are 1 stupid bug away from a release of s3c Xwindows fbdev + XAA + 
Xvideo (using the samsung s3c-pp) and HW cursor with alpha blend.

I have not looked at the g3d but DRI is "next".
