While we're discussing it, could someone tell me how possible it is to get a
more or less 'full' version of XDirectFB compiled? By full I mean one
that supports more extensions and doesn't cause KDE apps (and maybe some
others) to exit with a bunch of X protocol errors; I realize extensions like
Xv, Render, and GLX would take a lot of work (although... could DirectFBGL
be used to implement GLX?)
