New X server - i740

Well, RedHat and XBF project keeps coming up with new developemtns. This time is a full X server for the i740 based chipset cards.
Here are the outlines: Version 0.9.8 of the XBF_i740 X server is now available, supporting:

* Full support for 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bit per pixel depths.
* Hardware cursor support to reduce sprite flicker.
* Hardware accelerated 2D drawing engine support for 8, 15, 16 and * 24 bit per pixel depths.
* Support for high resolution video modes up to 1600x1200.
* Support for doublescan video modes (e.g., 320x200 and 320x240).
* Fully programmable clock supported.
* Robust text mode restore for VT switching.

This server has only been tested with the Real3D Starfighter AGP, but it'll probably work with all of the i740 cards that have cropped up.
It is only available in binary form (even though it's free software) to meet Intel's NDA requirements.
