The Shadow Framebuffer is the mechanism by which rotation is implemented. The server renders into a hidden framebuffer and the result is copied to the visble framebuffer, rotating on the copy. I allows us to change the way the framebuffer is displayed without actually modifying any of the normal rendering code. XFree86 4.3 has support for cursors with transparency. It was the code for copying and rotating the result of the cursor rendering that had a clipping bug, which could allow software to read outside of the framebuffer when the cursor went offscreen.
