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.

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?
