Why ? You have usually enough video/AGP/whatever texture memory to store multiple frames. I haven't looked at XvMc, but there is a difference between rendering frames and scheduling them for display, you render them to multiple buffers and schedule display when your next expected display frame is ready. I completely agree that it's a big waste to still have a copy in cases where the HW let you avoid it Ben. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
