Best to track this here I guess. We normally want to use a double-buffered framebuffer and then page-flip to present. Doing that on the RPi requires sending a message to the blob running on the VideoCore. Most likely because of https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/315#issuecomment-57034193 we hang doing the fb post. To work around that, I forced a single-buffered fb. That's terrible because it means (1) extra copy from offscreen render target -> fb on post (2) tearing.
