Floppy boot is possible with a 1.3.3 release - I think David Jeske's got
my old code working again. For now I'm still working with an interim
pre-1.4 system which probably doesn't even look much like 1.4 will (Andy
has a habit of making my patches much cleaner and suitable for public
consumption :-))

Yep - have been for 2 weeks now (and the weather's been far too nice to
sit around inside) :-)

The work I've done so far on bitblt was based on some of the ideas from
XFree86 2.1 (although I can handle more than 8bpp, like 3.x can). To be
honest though I've been meaning to rewrite much of this to get chipset
specific servers (for efficiency). I can't remember whether I mentioned
this on the mailing list or just in private email though.
