Long buffering between programs

Videos, programs such as "Mavis Beacon" write to the frame-buffer and don't really use methods in Windows OS. I could in theory write a program that writes exclusively to frame-buffer using Direct-X and not use the OS altogether. Can I write GUI for say, Linux (do you mind!) in Direct-X provided I change some of the bindings to cater for .. ahem, Linux. The program should display okay?!

The autonomous sharing video memory between CPU and GPU, where the GPU writes to frame-buffer. That is graphics processing is done independently, without stealing too much processor cycles, writing of the contents of GPU card memory to Mother-board frame-buffer memory.

The buffer needed for scaling doesn't need to be very large, only as many lines as the maximum vertical distance between taps in the scaling kernel. It does not rescale the entire source image and buffer it in its entirety before it's output.

Rather, the display controller of the GPU (Xenos) continuously reads out pixels from the front buffer to the scaler, which buffers up maybe 5 or so many lines of the source data, calculates the output pixels from the source pixels, and buffers the result
briefly for feeding to the TV encoder (HANA) as the latter requests the data. I imagine that the scaling is also parallelized, processing multiple output pixels simultaneously.

I imagine that the delay added by the scaling step is a few hundred microseconds at most.

The display in turn syncs to the incoming signal. It might buffer several frames of video before display for reference in performing noise reduction and motion compensation, with or without the ability to bypass the buffering depending on which features
are enabled. That's why the input lag can differ so much between different brands and models.

I wonder how many paying customers would keep on using Netflix... if they decided to cap the download speed at a unsustainable level.

FIX THIS MICROSOFT ASAP..... or my soon to expire xbox live gold subscription won't be renewed for the 6th consecutive year.
