What about other video bitmaps? If you're using page flipping, with no
hardware cursor, and a GUI pops up on a non-main-screen page, you'll want to
show it on that video bitmap.
I believe it would be better to have the docs say that using it on non-video
bitmaps is dangerous and deprecated (due to the async drawing and that
there's no mutex's in place), and showing it on a non-visible buffer is just
wasteful.
