How many framebuffers does openmoko has?

[Vishwas P S]

Can the display/video card recognize two planes (a BG and an FG) .. If yes,
it would be very easy to overlay one (FG )onto the other and the app/driver
generating the video(FG) data need not worry abt graphics FB and delegate
the job of combining to the hardware ?

Is this a possibility on the Glamo ?

(Am sorry if this is an irrelavent question ... i've seen this on the
Freescale chipset that i work on .. so am just curious to know if this is a
possibility)
