If you have a GrContext *MyContext, you draw in it by selecting this context
with :
	GrSetContext(MyContext);
Then you come back to the default context (screen) with :
	GrSetContext(NULL);

>Basicly I want to know how to do Double Buffering with GRX.

After you draw your image in your MyContext, just Blit it on the screen with
(for example, a 640x300 MyContext on a 640x480 screen) :
	GrBitBlt(NULL,0,90,MyContext,0,0,639,299,GrWRITE);

>Second.. Is there anyway to access the memory of the buffer directly so I

In the GrContext datas, you have somewhere a gf_baseaddr which is the adress
of the screen. But be aware that you'll have to manage *far* pointers, which
is not obvious with gcc. PutPixel and others libgrx functions are REALLY fast,

Hope it helps.
