BWindowScreen probably needs app_server support, too, so... :-)

There is no real search algorithm, though. Right now, only the first
usable driver will be opened. The method that is responsible currently
looks like:
status_t
AccelerantHWInterface::GetDriverPath(BString &string)
{
// TODO: hardcoded to vesa for now. Fix me
string = "graphics/vesa";
return B_OK;
}
I'll fixed it now if you don't mind, although I think BWindowScreen is
broken anyway - we'll see.
Bye,
Axel.
