Re: Swapping Double Buffers?

SEGV,
	Now, I could be completely wrong here, butit sounds like what you
want to do is have two mitshm areas with the X server and then when you
are ready to switch buffers, simply tell it to use the second area as the
one to draw.  I don't know if that capability exists in mitshm.  Does
anyonw else know if mitshm can do it?  I've never really dealt with it to
know.  Also, you might want to take a look at how the gnome canvas does
this, because it supposedly does dubble buffering without flicker.
