Some mobile phones use X11/Embeded, where the application can (and normally does),
write directly to /dev/xfb/0, which is the memory-mapped buffer that represents
the screen.

Thus you'd normally implement any optimisations in the application, not in X.




However,
Is there any reason why Trolltech haven't ported the Qt Renderer into X Renderer?

I realise that they are under different licences, but Trolltech, as the copyright holder,
could re-release the code under the X/MIT licence that X uses.
