Sorry, didn't know that there aren't many games that would benefit. Still, a 
DIB engine would be great, it would fix quite visual glitches in certain 
applications. I also tested a few applications recently (audio apps, no 
games) that were unusable slow with X at almost 100% CPU load on every 
interface redraw - I guess that's an issue the DIB engine would fix...?
