1) we need a fail safe implementation anyway, for drivers that do not 
export that *optional* functionality.
2) AFAICT overlays are not transparent - as the same suggest, they lie 
over the other content of the graphics card - and the area they occupy 
is usually specified by color and not some black magic (like a 
rectangular area :-))
