thats what I was thinking.

the last time Johan was around was when some people where looking to
take control of the screen (VDI). Personally he was not happy about
it, but he did give a couple of possible solutions on how it could be
done (can find thread if you want to read it - from 2+ years ago now I
think)

I have a rather large GUI based game project on the drawing board. My
initial solution was to package it with thin MiNT+XaAES+fvdi custom
build (dont interfere with regular install), which must be booted from
auto (or mint.cnf). That bypasses the above issues, and allows me to
add custom objects to custom XaAES build, but does not provide a
viable solution under normal circumstances

just a thought.
