Hello,

XFB is a 2D graphics API with hardware acceleration support. It
implements several graphics primitives, such as rectangle and triangle
drawing and bit blitting in hardware when available, and in software
when necessary, and provides direct access to the graphics
framebuffer.

XFB is implemented on top of the Linux frame buffer subsustem, and
requires a v2.2 kernel to function.  Currently the Matrox Millenium is
supported; other cards will be supported in the future. The package is
not yet tested on other than Intel hardware. Matrox G200 driver is
being worked on, and I'm having a go at a Sun framebuffer port, too.

You may download XFB from http://www.hut.fi/~hmallat/xfb. I'd like
to hear from people who could contribute to the project either by
programming graphics card drivers or applications (= games ;-)
