2d accel is fairly primitive and is not used according to the info I've read.

Also mesa-sw uses floating points, although there was an effort to implement 
mesa using fixed points around 2001. Scarce info available, maybe someone 
knows better but I'd bet implementing a opengl sw renderer would be major 
PITA. Also, considering the real processing power of 770, it's usability 
would be quite limited. A more balanced 3D-rasterizer could probably be done 
without too much effort, but not opengl.
