It's not that simple. ÂWith 32bit depths common today it will work fine,
but for lower depths (especially those lower than 8bit) this will give
you broken scanline alignment.

In the card I tested the scanline is keep aligned but for this reason is not directly computed by maxx * bits but is something bigger.
