OK, I meant for this specific chipset.  I had been handed the docs
earlier without even an NDA, and at some point at least they were
publicly available on VIA's website.

Ah, here:

If we can get the 2d working, I'd be interested in hooking up Blend
acceleration for it.  That would increase my motivation to figure out
how to do general Composites using two Blend stages and a scratch area,
too.  Maybe I'll dig my broken 2d code out now and see if I can find
obvious errors.
