Its limited by the fact XFree86 doesn't know how to pull frame buffer data properly. On PCI/AGP you have to push data from the card. The card knows that, the bus knows that. XFree86 hasn't quite woken up to it. To an extent its also limited by clients that assume the render extension is better than client side
