Now that *IS* interesting. I was looking at Cairo for the internals of an SVG renderer, the pluggable backends was what piqued my interest in the first place.
Sure.. if there was kernel arbitration for all the features of Cairo needed, accelerated on the graphics card, that would be a cool solution. Portability between X and "Framebuffer" would be possible, along with OpenGL support you'd have everything you'd need. Okay, I'm done here..
