Note that direct rendering isn't strictly a requirement for good
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap performance; see
http://people.freedesktop.org/~daenzer/aiglx-zero-copy-tfp/ , the 3D
driver specific parts of which should be relatively easy to port to
r200.

Do you really need that instead of GL_EXT_framebuffer_object?

There's
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DirectRenderingToRedirectedWindows but I
don't know of any timeframe.

I don't know of any that support GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, but the i915tex
driver supports GL_EXT_framebuffer_object.
