Converting it to fb should _improve_ performance.  And indeed, this is mostly 
done in CVS (and thus the RCs), but it still needs cfb for the 8+24 overlay 
mode.

That said, cfb should be dlloader-clean now, so I'd appreciate it if you could 
send me (preferably off-list) an X log from a failed startup so I can figure 
out what still needs to be fixed.
