Yes, the current OpenGL implementation doesn't really work in the new
offscreen surfaces world. We have some patches from izik that begins to
fix this, but I don't know the status of them.

Anyway, I don't think the OpenGL backend is very interesting atm, its
main interest would be if we supported 3d stuff, as then we could avoid
mixing software (2d) and hardware (3d) rendering to avoid slowdowns. But
at this point we don't do any 3d stuff, so its not really useful (and
actually slower than the software version in many cases).
