Yes, that would be the correct way of doing it.

Btw. has anybody seen this problem on anything else than fVDI? I used fVDI 
on my Falcon for some years before I got the Milan, and IIRC there was an 
issue with the pixel format. Atleast with the Rage-driver the format of the 
pixels returned by fVDI was different from the actual screen layout. I don't 
remember any details about this though.
