There are some basic

the standard is pretty much defined by what the driver can take. If it
can't parse the protocol then the device is rather useless anyway.
but really, writing a serial kernel driver is rather trivial and has a
higher chance of actually working long-term than dragging the old input
drivers
Can anyone think of a nice way to handle this? The only thing I can think
of is to do some sort of collision/overlapping detection and then be careful
about the bits of background that gets copied between the penguins in

Or accumulate all your updates then merge them and do them
I think the underlying framework is already there. You can create a GEM
surface for the 3D card to render into which doesn't need to be a display
surface, then you need to get it onto the USB graphics device.
