Some musings about DGA2 support in Wine...

Well, this was the answer I dreaded (and the one solution I did not propose
in my mail :-) ) : to look under the hood of XFree and try to see why
standard X programming would lock up the DGA2 events...

I will try to see what I can do (nobody should hold its breath though as I
do not have much hacking time in the next weeks and as I started trying to
make work Marcus' preliminary Xvideo patch).

In the same kind of solution, one could also remove most of TG's DIB code
once we enter DGA2 mode, but as I do not know at all how all this is
working, I will let someone else investigate this particular option :-)

PS: what happened to my other DGA2 related patch I sent friday evening (the
    one adding X error checking) ?
