fullscreen support for games

Well, it's the logical next step as OpenGL has a direct rendering
infrastructure whereas with X, you need to go through the X server...

I know that is deprecated on modern cards, but on those who still support it
(I suppose that, from what I read on the web, they still support and
advertise the extension on cards that have support for it) it would be the
easiest solution for the problem.

Hmmm, you lost me on that one. Can you explain me this technique using 1D
textures (privately if you wish to not pollute the channel :-) ) ?

Yup, Wine already does this but in 3D games only where OpenGL usage is
mandatory.
