Good point!  Thanks for pointing that out.  The line draw mode should be 
enabled by the bit in the op field.  It should look like the following:

#define GRRIOCLINE	_IOR('G', 58, struct grf_bitblt) /* Draw a line */
/* Use	:
 *
 * drawable1	=	stipple pattern (only low 16 bits)
 * drawable2	=	dest pixmap (0 is screen)
 * op 		= rendering mode (see above) (also sets line draw/fill mode)
...
etc.

Actually, it will be going into the view device.  And since the grf devce 
merely forwards all its stuff to the view device....  

The most important is a mmap()able frame buffer.  The rest is gravy.
