[visionegg] Re: Frame Buffer Objects

Hi eamon,

glad to hear VE's kinda working for you.

what precisely are you guys trying to set up?  is it an RSVP-type task?  are
the stimuli dynamically generated?

I have an old CB-flicker task that does the job by pre-fetching the
TextureStimulus instances into video ram, I assume you've already done this,
right?  Running on the emacs?  haven't tried the frame buffer approach...
gimme some more details and will see if I've run into this.
