DisplayDriver class
The DisplayDriver class is not a useful class unto itself. It is to provide a consistent interface for the rest of the app_server to whatever rendering context it is utilizing, whether it be a remote screen, a ServerBitmap, installed graphics hardware, or whatever. Documentation below will describe the role of each function.

bool Initialize(void)
void Shutdown(void)
These four are for general start and stop procedures. The constructor and destructor concern themselves with the internal members common to all drivers, such as the current cursor and the access semaphore. Subclasses will probably end up using these to handle memory allocation-related issues, but likely not much else. Initialize() and Shutdown() are for general setup internal to the module. Note that if Initialize() returns false, the server will not use the module, call Shutdown(), and then delete it as accordingly.

float StringWidth(const char *string, int32 length, LayerData *d)
float StringHeight(const char *string, int32 length, LayerData *d)
These drawing functions are the meat and potatoes of the graphics module. Defining any or all of them is completely optional. However, the default versions of these functions will do nothing. Thus, implementing them is likely a good idea, even if not required.
uint8 GetDepth(void)
uint16 GetHeight(void)
uint16 GetWidth(void)
screen_mode GetMode(void)
void SetMode(screen_mode mode)
These five functions are called internally in order to get information about the current state of the buffer in the module. GetDepth should return 8, 16, or 32, in any event because the server handles RGB color spaces of these depths only.
bool DumpToFile(const char *path)
DumpToFile is completely optional, providing a hook which allows screenshots to be taken. The default version does nothing but return false. If a screenshot is successful, return true.
void Lock(void)
void Unlock(void)
These two functions provide a locking scheme for the driver in order to easily make it thread safe. Note that it is not publicly callable.
void SetDepthInternal(uint8 d)
void SetHeightInternal(uint16 h)
void SetWidthInternal(uint16 w)
void SetModeInternal(int32 m)
These four functions set the internal state variables for height, width, etc. If the driver reimplements the public members SetDepth(), etc, be sure to call the respective internal call so that calls to GetDepth(), etc. return the proper values.
void SetCursorHidden(bool state)
void SetCursorObscured(bool state)
bool IsCursorObscured(void)
These calls handle internal state tracking so that subclasses don't have to.
