Eventually yes, but that VHA stuff sets a load of registers in indirect buffer, fills up an indirect buffer and sends it the card... to do this without indirect buffers would require a fair lot of sending commands between blocks to make sure the card is back in a known state ... I think it will at any rate .. at the moment I've no memory manager so I'm going to do a gross hack initially anyways as I need to allocate 5 * max video size at startup time .. uggh... waste of good VRAM...
