Ofcourse it can't do any redraws or anything like that, the purpose of
such a driver (let's think of it as a window device) would be to manage
windows and related events, not do redraws. That's up to the userlevel
library.

It should do clipping though. This is something all windowed GUIs must do,
and if you want to be able to run different GUIs simultaneously (like AES
and X, both using this device), clipping *must* be done by the server/device.
