Ok, changes applied. What's the timeline for the 4.2.0 release? I'd 
like to publish on BeBits.com the updated BeOS Allegro with new drivers 
ASAP, as one of the new drivers I've added finally adds the possibility 
to use Allegro under BeOS with the system VESA gfx driver, which a lot 
of people with unsupported hardware use. Prior to my modifications 
Allegro didn't work on those machines...

IIRC, there was someone working on an XVideo gfx driver... maybe 
Thomas?

I was wondering about colorspace conversion. AFAICT, most modern cards 
only support YCbCr or YUV overlays, not directly RGB ones; so it'd be 
cool if Allegro could color convert from rgb to these non linear color 
spaces... but maybe this is Allegro 5 territory (not that we don't have 
to think about it though!)
