Good :)
Please torture it and report problems.

Yeah, I never enabled that. Shouldn't be a problem on the O2 though.
Maybe I should just build a dedicated, monolithic Xserver for the O2,  
that way we could get around the hacked libxaa.so. I had to disable a  
few GC ops, like PolyArc, which we can't easily do in hardware but  
which need special handling on the O2's tiled framebuffer. I should  
probably write a wrapper which breaks them down into pieces that can  
work on a single tile. Looks like when I'm done the crime driver  
won't use XAA at all.

have fun
Michael
