Hack xfree? Ask the author of Allegro's DGA2 driver?

I could tell you that right while typing this from a console I have four
copies of allegro's test running, two of them at 1024x16380x8, one at
1024x4095x32, another at 800x600x32 all of which are scrolled at different
positions, and I can switch to/from any, plus the X server running at
1024x768x32 with an X11 allegro running at 800x600x24, but you surely
wouldn't believe all this bragging, would you? ;-) I mean, it sounds
like if I were bashing windows just for fun instead of something real...
