Depending on the surface type and scaling mode, yes.


Referring to the other email, I guess you can forget my babbling about
scanning out a buffer that is smaller than the video mode. I'm not
sure, whether that is possible driver- or hardware-wise. It is unlikely
to occur, and even then, we are talking about a hint, and it's not that
big of a deal if some compositor decides to not center the image, if
that allows it to scan out directly.
