[Xorg] Xfbdev acceleration without offscreen pixmaps?

After reading the code in kaa.c I noticed that a video driver who
supplies acceleration code is only called if there is available
offscreen pixmaps other wise it falls through and uses fbdev.
for example: in kaaFillRegionSolid
if (pScreenPriv->enabled &&
(pPixmap = kaaGetOffscreenPixmap (pDrawable, &xoff, &yoff)) &&
(*pKaaScr->info->PrepareSolid) (pPixmap, GXcopy, FB_ALLONES, pixel))
I have a video card that only has enough memory for the on screen frame
buffer but It has a 2DBLT engine. I have code that I used in the
XFree86 tree with kdrive that works great and I want to move to the new
kdrive from freedesktop. Can someone tell me if it is possible to use
acceleration routines without using offscreen pixamps?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
