I want to get some clarification on the BACKSYSTEM, BACKVIDEO and FRONTONLY.
Here is my understanding: BACKSYSTEM uses a virtual framebuffer of the screen (Some place in RAM) and DirectFB draws on this screen (surface), once a Flip is called the virtual framebuffer is copied to the Real/Visible framebuffer. BACKVIDEO use the off screen video memory and draws in the screen (surface) that is off screen. When a Flip is called the framebuffer starting position is changed to the off screen position to make the screen visible. The next frame is draw on the off screen and the process is repeated. FRONTONLY, draw directly to the visible framebuffer.
