I'll look into this, maybe I did something that made the hardware cursor be used regardless of the option setting.

Yeah, what you said sounds absolutely correct. I've disabled the CHIPSVideoInit/Reset in my build. >> I had to mess around with the aperture, but I think I've got the aperture >> and the MMIOBase setup correctly now.

I'll do this when I get back to the other side (i.e. Linux). Beware this ct_BltHiQV.h has some interesting looking asm code to accomplish the ct* macros. I'm pretty sure this is powerpc specific so it may not be something you would want to put into the "official" source. However, the bonus of this is that I had to make very few changes to the driver as it currently stands, plus I got all the accelerated functions for "free" -- save for the aforementioned WritePixmap. Anyhow, I'll clean it up and send it to you tonight. I'm using this modified chips driver as my default X setup and I haven't noticed anything broken or unusual. It seems to be snappier and smoother than the FBDev driver I had been using, but that may just be the placebo effect at work. I'll run some x11perf tests and check it out.
