What I didn't add was that I will need direct access to the frame buffer 
and pixmap memory from the X server for the foreseeable future; there's 
always something I can't do through an underlying API and need direct 
access.

Having AGP memory management should let me DMA bits between video and AGP 
space safely which would make CPU rendering quite a bit faster.
