Not exactly, there is a templated helper class which can be inserted 
into the class hierachie between the surface interface and the 
implementation which implements functions as a pixel by pixel access to 
the graphics card, so the smallest possible backend only ovverides the 
set_pixel calls. (Look at surface_dfb.cpp for a very simple backend(Read 
Incomplete/Hacked))

Yes basicly they are for anti aliasing (darren is the specialist for 
this stuff ;) ).
