Are bitmaps sharable with the OpenGL drivers? Or are they tied to a

In WGL bitmaps are not shared. When you draw a bitmap which belongs to another display locking is used. When you destroy a display, all bitmaps tied to that display are converted to memory bitmaps using an internal API.

GLX can share bitmaps most of the time.

I don't think it is important to have fast drawing across displays.
