Actually, I guess not. I tried the examples in 4.2.0 and the same
problem exists. I guess its just something wierd with my video card. Im
not too worried about it since 320x200 is pretty rare anyway.

System driver id = 1482114643. name = X11 fullscreen

The program doesnt seem to respond to keyboard input at all in 320x200
mode. I changed the resolution to 640x480 for exflame and then keyboard
input worked.

Wont plain double buffering work just as well in most cases?
