This would certainly improve the display, but will the OLPC hardware
actually be able to do that (I know it performs AA with 4 neighbors, not
sure it will do it with 24)? My goal is more to simulate the hardware's
behavior (DCON chip) as closely as possible than to get a nice display
in Xephyr.

Cheers,
Manu
