Ah Mark Mark Mark Mark, I just got school'ed bigtime. I totally understand what you're saying now, and what's going on. Thanks for bringing me back to reality, and sorry it took so long.

But if we can't double-buffer in the hardware then I get tearing, and this makes it useless to a DVD player. And you're right, my little retrace hack doesn't help much.

Why does it take so long to copy the data to the framebuffer? Can't we use DMA here? Does it really take that long to just copy 512k? -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
