And for the hardware cursor, you only need to: * enable/implement/improve (does what is disabled right now even remotely fit the needs of an X server? I didn't think so) the fbdev hardware cursor support * design and implement an EGL extension for it * add support for that to glitz * add support for that to Xegl Indeed, that seems much easier and less prone to problems...
