There is the ability to create a graphics screen in most of the Amiga
graphics modes, and directly access the bitplane memory. This is the
method used by the X server to create its display. This interface
does not provide access to the blitter yet.
For now, X is the "portable" way to do graphics; there may be GKS or
some similar library later.
