ATI proprietary has pbuffers too.

I was hoping to get some help bringing up pbuffers. The only thing linux-solo is
really missing is pbuffers and all of the mode support. I'm working on the mode
support problem.

It would also be nice to unify framebuffer management between pbuffer, 3D
engine, base driver making the main display buffer. For example I need to assign
memory for a cursor, where does it come from?

I readily agree with Gak!. But it has to be done to make linux-solo useful.
