It is for sure part of the 3D hardware part, but which has nothing to do with the 3d drivers.

In Bad Bramstedt 2012 and Geit@Home #3 several beta MorphOS 3.2 systems had "enhanced display functions" enabled on Powerbook and tools like Lucy or the new Ambient panels ran at full speed.

Even the nice screen brightness control blendover was visible for the first time on Betatester Powerbooks.

It can be seen at the beginning of my BB2012 presentation video, even if that is an iBook which already has fully working 3D drivers. On PowerBooks running 3.0 or 3.1. it is simply disabled when no enhanced display features are available to avoid heavy cpu load just for such a simple effect.

Just to make it clear. This has nothing to do with the 3D drivers made by bigfoot. The "Enhanced Display" stuff was added by cyfm recently and uses hardware acceleration of the r300 gpu.
