Guess all it takes is a little more reading...
http://www.xfree.org/4.1.0/rendition5.html
gives me the following option:
DacSpeed "MHz"
Set custom ramdac limit. We have currently no way of knowing if the v2x00 chip is a v2100 (170MHz) or v2200 (203MHz and 230MHz) so we assume the lowest. Use this option to manually override the value.
I'll try this when I get home.

Hmmm... According to this page - http://www.xfree.org/4.1.0/rendition4.html - the Rendition driver should be accellerated.

there is no accel support for rendition. and be happy it at least works
correctly in 4.1.0 which was not in my case
