  And I have never heard it called “backbuffer”, so we are even.

    I guess so.

      I never said anything about framebuffers. The 256x64 pixel display in 16 brightness levels probably has something comparable inside. I just tell it that i want to update a rectangle, and send it some data for that.

        It should have.

        Then, if you don’t store contents of entire screen in memory, which simple math says you can’t, I was partially wrong(depending on if you don’t count buffer in display as framebuffer) when interpreted “shadow copy” as backbuffer.
