ABSTRACT:
A method, computer program product and system for allocating the memory space in a frame buffer. A Device Dependent Layer (DDX) of an X-server may read command line options or alternatively an option selected by a user. If the command line options or alternatively the user selectable option indicates to allocate the memory space in the frame buffer to support a particular type of stereo, e.g., double buffered stereo, single buffered stereo, then the DDX may allocate the memory space in the frame buffer accordingly. If the memory space of the frame buffer is allocated for single buffered stereo, then the extra memory space in the frame buffer from not supporting double buffered stereo may be allocated for texture and/or off screen caching.
