Yeah but you can still see it draw... I need to totally draw in video memory and then
flip
to that section.

lineartest

This is on the machine with an ATI Rage Pro (mach64).
However my target is a 586 Class embedded chip from ST called the STPC and it dosen't
support MTRR. Unfortunaly I can't run the the tests on the target right now as our
prototype left for a demo.

Same result.
I seem to have figured out how to to gl_copyscreen by looking at the fun.c demo except
that
in my application is MUCH slower than vga_drawscanline. :( dunno.. I set it up just
like
fun.c. Fun.c appears to run nice and speedy with a frame rate of 6.9 and 7. However
when I
comment out USE_PAGEFLIPPING it makes no speed difference.
Oh and for some reason fun dies with a segfault if I try to run it in 640x480x256 but
1024x768x256 works.
It also looks like vga_setdisplaystart might do what I wan't but I am not sure how to
go
about using it.
