A bit off topic, but well, said extension (if possible) would greatly help
us poor Wine developpers to handle the 'nice' possibilities of Direct3D
(where, basically, the 3D framebuffer is just another surface which the
application can write to directly). And, even worse, the same is the case
for the ZBuffer (which completely kills performance when emulating it using
GL).

PS: this server work seems for the moment to concentrate on graphical stuff,
    but are topic like relative mouse movement reporting and other stuff
    like that also on-topic here ? Ie could we propose extensions for that ?
