Log message:
* fixed several bugs in the xlib driver

Observations:
+ Somehow, it seems a bit faster than the ggi driver, even when displaying
locally. Must be because of the X11 based mouse pointer.
- I still get occasional segfaults
- Displaying from a big-endian machine to a little-endian machine (which is
what I do most of the time) screws up the colors in modes with more than
one byte per pixel. Need to find a good way to detect the endianness of the
system the X Server is running on...

I know there are other bugs I should be hunting, but I need this thing for
painless compiles and better performance on our university computers, so I
can do some sensible work there, too.

AI test tomorrow. Guess that'll be it for today.

BTW: Please use the ChangeLog!
