yes, but it's more safer i think, if there's a brainded driver
that doesn't set back the colorkey color and masks.

btw, i'm thinking about a system that saves and later restores all the
registers that could hurt if they're changed.

imho it's now clearer, becouse lot of staff is shared between rage128
and radeon drivers, and it's still not too big (50k) - the kerneldriver
was about 80k ;)
