  17. No, most companies will sell complete CPU drive dumb frame buffers, because
  18. that's the cheapest solution. They will also adapt SVGA technology like S3
  19. chips. It will not replace the chipset for most people.
  20. BTW, RTG doesn't know copper lists. It knows about ViewPorts and ColorMaps.
