Nothing seems to be happening regarding rewriting `set_gfx_mode', so
I've committed this. There was no harm, really :-P Sorry about the
misguided delay.

I think not. I would like to use GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED for things
like grabber, so I can access other apps too. The DGA windowed
driver doesn't allow this. I haven't yet changed it from your patch
though.

On my DGA2-buggered-but-I-don't-know-why system, calling
`XDGAOpenFramebuffer' will terminate the program, then and there (X
server error). I posted a message on AD about disabling DGA2
autodetection, but got no reply.

All committed.
