33// FIXME: Currently, wxScreenDC doesn't work at all in non-exclusive mode
34// (DFSCL_NORMAL). In this mode, requesting primary surface results
35// in one of the following actions, depending on directfbrc
36// configuration:
37//
38// (1) if force-desktop, a surface is created and used as *background*
39// for the windows managed by DFB WM
40//
41// (2) otherwise, a dummy surface of the right size and format is
42// created, but isn't shown on the screen
43//
44// (3) furthermore, if autoflip-window option is not used and primary
45// surface is requested as single-buffered (which is needed to
46// implement wxScreenDC semantics), a warning is issued in addition
47// to 2); if autoflip-window is used, then a helper thread is
48// created and does periodic flipping, which is even worse
49//
50// 2) and 3) are obviously unsatisfactory. 1) isn't suitable either,
51// because wxScreenDC has to render *on top* of windows.
52//
53// In conclusion, wxScreenDC as currently implemented is only usable
54// for measuring things (e.g. font sizes). For this task, however, it
55// is quite expensive to create in DFSCL_NORMAL mode, because it
56// involves creation of a new surface as big as the screen.
57//
58// The surface, as obtained from GetPrimarySurface(), is double-buffered
59// for the sole purpose of silencing the warning from 3) above.
