Also does using an openpci driver remove the graphics ram limit that's normally there with amithlon?

A lot of functions are still software emulated.
Most of them are slower than powerfb, because powerfb is using x86 code for emulating and not 68k like i did.
Generally it is a framebuffer with "some" functions accelerated by hardware, some blitter and sprite functions.
Target is a full accelerated driver in the future.
RAM limit is gone, but due to a bug i have to limit the driver to 64mb, but the problem is no longer and 256mb videomem is no problem.
Currently supported are R200-RV280 chipsets.
Code is written to support a wide range from r100-r500 series in the future.
But I still have to transfer a lot of linux/bsd-code.
