There's enough 2D-style accels support in OpenGL that texture
blitting, color ramps, clip planes/alpha/stencil masks etc could be used
to good effect when accelerating X.

Not exactly. I think he's asking for an "OpenGL target" for
LibGGI, which would render everything in XGGI using GL primitives. GLX
only renders its GL contexts using GL, and does all of the rest of its
(2D) accels its own way, correct?
