It is actually wrapping - it writes the low pages back below the high
ones so it works the GTT as a circular buffer - or am I misunderstanding
this.

One thing I wasn't sure of on the fb side. If I've got a display width
that is annoying and can't fit on a 4Kbyte stride am I right in thinking
I can set this to say 8 and use a 512 byte stride and still get
acceleration for the usual font choice ?
