I know this is a late reply, but this is blatently wrong.  The render
extension is supported by almost every XFree86 driver right now.  The mga
driver is the only one with some acceleration for it though.

NVIDIA has supported it with all of their 0.9-7xxx releases.  The 0.9-8
release is supposed to have accelerated support.

Even without acceleration, render can be useful, although imlib2 probably
destroys it in software compositing speed.
