Actually,right now now my Double Buffer is a unsigned short * for some
reason.( I should change that to a void * so it would be better.  I just
noticed my Double Buffer wasn't working right so I hacked an example up
quickly.

Plotting pixels strsight to video memory seems to work fine for me in
all modes.  My problem is that if I fill the Double Buffer with ,for
example, green, and then plot a few pixels of an other color into the
double buffer, I will see those pixels for an instan and then the whole
screen will be green.

thanks



Thanks for responding
