Acceleration of 2D operations for kdrive

Hi,

 But in an embedded device acceleration of  drawing lines,rectangles etc can
be useful.My SGA supports acceleration of these primitive operations.So you
are saying that it cannot be done in kdrive.After going through the kdrive
code i also think that its framework  does not provide way of  accelerating
these primitives.Is it so?Correct me if i am wrong.I have to use kdrive as
th xserver.

The mach64 driver also shows accleration for copying ,drawing solid etc. Is
there any way to accelerate 2D  drawing primitives using kdrive framework
because it looks like it is being done by software.The functions for
primitive drawing in the kdrive/src/kaa.c cannot b overriden.Only  3
functions look like being overriden.
kaaCopyArea,
kaaPolyFillRect,
kaaImageGlyphBlt.

static const GCOps      kaaOps = {
    kaaFillSpans,
    KdCheckSetSpans,
    KdCheckPutImage,
    kaaCopyArea,
    KdCheckCopyPlane,
    KdCheckPolyPoint,
    KdCheckPolylines,
    KdCheckPolySegment,
    miPolyRectangle,
    KdCheckPolyArc,
    miFillPolygon,
    kaaPolyFillRect,
    miPolyFillArc,
    miPolyText8,
    miPolyText16,
    miImageText8,
    miImageText16,
    kaaImageGlyphBlt,
    KdCheckPolyGlyphBlt,
    KdCheckPushPixels,
#ifdef NEED_LINEHELPER
    ,NULL
#endif
};
