This is definitely a bug in the AA target, it should recognise GGI_AUTO
and setup a reasonable mode.

That's strange since GGI_AUTO was changed recently to 0.  Did you 
"make clean" and re-make and re-install LibGGI and the demos ?  Stuff 
is changing rapidly in the devel repository right now.

No, GGI_AUTO was correct.  It looks like most of your problems boil down
to GGI_AUTO not being handled correctly in the AA target.

No idea on that one.

Points 4 & 5 indicate a problem with the sync code.

No, it is shared code which both the X targets and the AA targets use to
emulate SYNC mode (display/common/mansync.inc).

Thanks for them anyway.
