Full windown bug with Intel display card

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Bug Reports/Full windown bug with Intel display card

situation:
If using LoadImage then there is still no problem, but if using CreateImage to draw our own images then you will suffer probelms.

I recently discover my program can display normal in windowed mode, but failed in full window mode.
For example,
Graphics 800,600,16,1 will be failed
Graphics 800,600,16,2 will be no probelm

Finally I discovered this is related to my display card, which is Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME using shared memory.(This is not a independent display card)Because I can run the same thing with no problem on the other computer with other display card. So I conclude this is caused by my display card.

But it maybe also relate some memory arrangement issue because the card is with shared memory. Because if I replace all the images with bmp pictures, then the problem is solved. But when I create more than the two images usign CreateImage, certainly you have to call ImageBuffer(), then it may mix up some display function because of calling ImageBuffer and BackBuffer repeatedly.

I am not an expert on this, I just did some A/B test and my sense is this. Hopefully it will help technique people to figure this out.
