What makes you think so? Have a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.MGA,
especially the last
2. Features:
o uses linear frame buffer
o Resolutions up to the maximum supported by the card should be
possible.
o 8 bpp, 16 bpp (depth 15 and 16), 24 bpp (depth 24, packed) and 32 bpp
(depth 24, sparse) are all supported.
o supports VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
o supports RGB Sync-on-Green
o supports the XF86_DGA extension
o Makes extensive use of the graphics accelerator. This server is very
well accelerated, and is one of the fastest XFree86 X servers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So, the X Server does use hardware acceleration :)
Bye,
