You make up the hardware spec yourself.  In which case, you
could decide to pass info to the emulated video card in
whatever way you want.

What I'm wondering, is if it makes sense to ever rasterize
pixels in the driver.  Why not pass primitives to the
pseudo card, and then pass them on to X11, Windows, etc
to display.
