At the moment, -multiwindow mode always selects the GDI engine for reasons
which are lost in the mists of time (rooted modes are able to use
DirectDraw), so a GDI BitBlt is used to transfer the contents of the
shadow buffer to the display.
Jon - did I understand you correctly here? Are you saying that there's an
alternative mode I could try that should give me better performance (even
though it might be limited to just one monitor)? If so, how do I need to
call Xwin to work in a rooted mode?
Thanks,
John
