having cursor acceleration and things like bitblit for srolling is a real
pleasure if you ever happen to work for more than 5 minutes on the framebuffer
console, especially on a system that already has a quite high load at that time.

It sort-of is a standard feature, and at least in the x86/PCI/AGP world, I
am not awaer that any framebuffer driver would not support it.  That's why I
had it on my todo list.
