New Altera Software Dev Board with VGA full color?

I took a quick look at the companies website. I couldn't find the details but there was a highlevel description of what is available on the board. It looked like it was targeted for video game market and even maybe automotive applications (see the automotive refernce design on Altera's website).

VGA has come to be a misused term. Originally VGA described a specific video card adapter standard by IBM as compared to CGA and EGA. The VGA standard defined a hardware architecture, software API and video signals for specific resolutions and color modes. I think the Merlin board just has a video DAC on it similar to the one found on Lancelot board.

What I would really be interested in is what are they actually offering for the animation capabilities. Are they offering hardware core(s) or is it software based? I have been developing a 3D graphics library in VHDL. My goal is to provide a library or core that is portable between different manufacturers devices. I have complete a framebuffer with single, double and triple framebuffer capabilities. I'm currently working on a triangle rasterizer. I'll next be working on shading and additional hardware acceleration capabilities. I'm also working on demos to show off its capabilities.
