Re: ggiGetPixelFormat and proposed new DirectBuffer scheme

> /* Pixelformat for ggiGet/Put buffers etc. */

PLEASE make that either generic (i.e. for all buffer, i.e. everything
that can be described by a directbuffer), or not at all.

A special struct for GetPut buffers is what we _don't_ need.

Also note, that masks not always cut it, and RGB isn't the only color space.

NO. Make it using directbuffer. It has provisions for describing
auxiliary buffers like the getput buffers. See some of my older mails.
The basic trick is to give "DB_GetPutStart" to the function getting
the directbuffers instead of NULL.
