Hi Ryan, The problem with this is that the back buffer resolution generally will not match the render resolution. On systems that do not support FBO's it would be possible to open a new window as it does in 2.4x, I can review patches for this but I'm not going to implement it, FBO were just simpler to code and integrate nicer. Even old graphics cards can support FBO's as long as the manufacturer decides to implement it in new drivers.
