Okay - please!
Any ideas?
This'll be handy for lotsa stuff (movie players, anything with BITBLT (X
comes to mind), 3D textures, videocards with subwindow support, font
loading/unloading [on S3/textmode this is present in text memory, on
videomodes it'd be handy for fast blitting :])

I really don't know.  I've been fighting with one -weird- system for the
last six months and have kind of forgotten how to write GGI extensions/etc
(though I'm still mucking with drivers :)

G'day, eh? :)
