cfbcopyarea.c is just a 'copy 'n paste' of Geert's version I leached
from fbutils (I hope this is okay with you, Geert :)  The only changes
are using FB_WRITEL and FB_READL where appropriate. 

Of course (actually that was my intention ;-)

Thanks.

Did you measure any noticeable differences (performance-wise) with the old
routines?

Yes, but not by much, something like less than a second.  But I haven't
really done a test where the primary operation is copyarea...  Will this
be affected by the the setting of display->scrollmode?  I use
SCROLL_YREDRAW.

BTW, expect a fillrect() for arbitrary bitdepths soon...

This is good :)  The one I included should do that too, but it is
terribly inefficient.  

The fillrect() for arbitrary bitdepths is in fbtest now. I also added fast
support for planar screens. Well, now I can start porting amifb to the accel
framework.

So far I tested fbtest on
  - PPC (atyfb on 3D RAGE II+, cfb)
  - m68k (amifb on Amiga AGA, planar)
  - Alpha (tgafb on DEC UDB with 8-bit TGA, cfb)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
