I don't think that's a big deal; it seems to me that X games won't
have difficulty since they'll use the standard X stuff, and use
whatever your display is currently running. For the non-X games,
especially those that use a 3D card, it could work the same way
Windows does now; just put the X server `away' for a bit while you
give the game `direct' access to whatever it needs (it takes over
the entire screen)--in fact, you *must* do this for current 3D
cards--and then when the came is done, put the video card back into
the mode it was in before and let the X server at it again.
