/dev/draw will get a bit faster on
Mach64 and S3 ViRGE cards if you
remove the lines
# turn off hardware acceleration until you know it's ok.
echo -n 'hwaccel off' >'#v/vgactl' >[2]/dev/null
from your /rc/bin/termrc (or just comment
out the second one).
On the rare card our hardware acceleration
code doesn't work (rectangle fills just don't happen,
for instance), so it ships disabled.
It makes a huge difference though. Pixel
depths bigger than 8 bits aren't usable without it.
