Hmm.. I'm surprised it doesn't deadlock. You're trying to draw to the 
screen in a input thread? The input thread should have its own XLOCK on 
while grabbing input, and drawing to the screen should result in another 
XLOCK.

Though I need to go through xvtable.c again.. it doesn't seem as though 
I'm locking properly.
