or work directly with the hardware acceleration of the video card, there
are drivers for MGA (Matrox), ATI, nVidia and others, but I'm not aware
of a standard library like DirectX in Linux as of yet. there are several
way to do direct-rendering developed by SGI and others (but I don't
remember any of the names at the moment), and they should DEFINITELY be
faster than both SVGAlib and plain X11. look for DRI in the kernel and
on the web.

btw, any relation to Adi Shamir of the RSA algorithm? :)
