OK,

Just to summarize this thread there seems to be an overall consensus 
that being able to specify padding and pitch alignments also for system 
memory pixmaps would be desirable for most known cards?

The unichromes need common two lower bits for system and framebuffer, 
but due to a bug in the chipset, all system memory lines need to start 
on a 16 byte boundary.
