[speaking out of the list, since I haven't really got nano-X
running yet]
IIRC, there are no bitmaps you can draw on, so there's no need
for it. If you have coded bitmaps, you're welcome to code bitblt
:-)
[Also, of less importance, IIRC it's bitblt and not bitblit -
blt for "block transfer"]

I think a GGI driver would be a thing to have in this initial
testing/developing/hacking period. This would mean (for me)
being able to hack it, since I can't get framebuffers to work on
either machine I use (Trident board at work, MACH32 at home).
As to your problem... wouldn't GGI on top of svgalib help? Or
GGI on KGI if available for your hardware? (I personally plan to
use GGI/svgalib in the beginning, since I don't want to install
X at home)
