Yes, but only for cards with the R100 3D core (before 8500) at this
point. There's no working blend acceleration even for cards with the
R200 core (before 9500) yet, let alone R300 (not enough information
available about the 3D engine).

Radeon blending acceleration requires the DRM from current DRI CVS.
