[Alephmodular-devel] Very interesting detail - Low Resolution

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

I think I found part of why low-resolution mode is so speedy. I was 
preparing a build for the a 0.3 preview release. And I happened to have 
it compiling then running in the background. Well it's running, I have 
low-resolution turned on, and suddenly it starts overwriting my 
foreground windows when AM kicks into demo mode.

Apparently the low-res code doesn't do a copy from back buffer to 
foreground window, it's setup to copy directly to the *screen*

I certainly doubt that this is the right way to do things. (I believe 
DrawSprockets is. I think the Draw Sprockets also handles alt-tab 
issues as well) But I find it interesting and I find I must resist the 
urge to tweak high-resolution like that and check it in :)
