That's not a bug in the driver, it's a bug in Cedega. Drivers are not
required to provide this functionality, and we've learned over the years
that it is better for applications to use shared images instead of
shared pixmaps; few (if any) graphics cards are comfortable rendering to
arbitrary pages of memory, with the result being that all drawing to
this shared pixmap will end up being done in software within the X
server, something far better left to the application.

File a bug with Cedega; it's broken.
