ggix :0 -modes "[GT_16BIT]" -targets
"tile:0,0,1152,864,(fbdev):1152,0,800,600,(glide)"
will do what you want.

No emulated target will ever support DirectBuffer and acceleration

The tile target is only one screen so you can drag windows wherever
you like on that.

Because the X code requires this.

No. Why would you want to do that?
