(it's a small patch but it already outperforms fb-2.4 especially at high color depths). Compared with the previous patch I submitted, this change is non-intrusive, so no other changes are required. 2. vga16fb imageblit that supports drawing of the penguin (vga-4-planes only) 3. logo drawing for directcolor visuals. The above should complete softaccel support for most hardware except for the more esoteric ones (mostly authored by Geert). Also cfbcursor is a bit misleading, no? It implies support for packed-pixels only, but I already use it with vga16fb.
