that sounds likely to me too :)

Ehmm.. well, I'm no "specialist" in windows display drivers, but I hope
I can contribute this way (atleast until I understand more of the
(linux) internals of plex86).

I assume the host-side "display" interface will be independant of the
guest OS (at least that probably *should* be)?

why is that? do you want to send the display data over IP?

hmm... maybe we can make a list of host <-> guest interfaces interesting
(and include them in the host-guest protocol documentation)
