It's in the latest Xfree86 alpha, & will probably be making it's way the the
beta releases in due course. At the moment only S3 & Cirrus hardware are
supported (on Linux) and I suspect that it's only for those models running
with a linear mapped frame buffer (i.e. VLB/EISA/PCI - I think I'll be
upgrading when budget permits!)
