I was wondering if there was any easy way to implement a double buffer for the framebuffer that this crate provides?
Forgive me if this seems obvious as I am very new to low-level video programming

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the crate's framebuffer implementation and determining whether it exposes a way to manage multiple buffers or page flipping. Done would require an agreed design and documented behavior for double buffering, along with coverage for the supported framebuffer modes.
