You don't want good Longhorn support, as currently at least Longhorn
still uses the proprietary GDI 2D drawing algorithms, and DirectDraw
in rare cases. MacOS/X does the drawing and effects in OpenGL, which
is what you want. As will X.Org. So you want OpenGL support, and
you'll be done. (Once framebuffers are being drawn in OpenGL as well,
which isn't impossible to happen.)
Maybe we'll need a graphics card that does OpenGL *only*...
