Starting looking into overlay support for FFB in xf86-4.0, unfortunately the xf40 overlay layer lacks the concept of window-id's for the 8-bit overlay (essentially, WIDs give you N 8-bit colormaps to use, where N is the number of window IDs supported by the ramdac) so we'll just use one WID for xf86-4.0 until this is cleared up. I wonder if I can trick the xf86 overlay layer and do WID management internally to the ffb driver.
