DESCRIPTION
frontbuffer enables updating in the front buffer. When the
value of b is FALSE (0), (the default value), the front
buffer is not enabled. When the value of b is TRUE (0), the
front buffer is enabled. This routine is useful only in
double buffer mode. It is ignored in single buffer mode.
gconfig sets frontbuffer to FALSE (0).
