Hi Lionel,

not quite sure I understand.
Windows (IDirectFBWindow) are, afaik, always "single" buffered, or rather simply "buffered" (as opposed to what I believe X does, which simply issues redraw requests). A window update is then nothing more than a sequence of bitblt operations.

If you want to get rid of the bufferedness you have to access the layer yourself, since DirectFB has currently no mechanism for redraws.

Hi all

I'm wondering whether it's possible to change a double buffered window to a single buffered one
and vice and versa.
My idea is to display several applications, each one having its own window, and I only want one of them to have focus and be able to update its content. Therefor the others windows are kind "frozen" and won't update their backbuffered content. So I could save some memory by changing them from
double buffered to single buffered.

Is it something possible with the current directfb version ?
