Probably not. If the speed is too slow you could extend the existing 
driver to copy and area of pixels to some buffer.

Every driver has a CONTROL: entry point where you can implement your own 
extensions to the tgi driver.

#define tgi_copy(dst, x, y, w, h) tgi_ioctl(0, dst, x, y, w, h)

tgi_copy(void *dst, int x, int y, int w, int h);

Or something like this. If this gets popular then Uz might implement 
this in the tgi driver as a new command mode.

I have also had similar needs. Mainly to use screen 0 as a background 
for static data and screen 1 for dynamic data. When you run animation a 
Lynx may not have the power to render the background over and over 
again. Some function to copy and area from screen 0 to screen 1 would be 
nice.

tgi_copydrawpage(x, y, w, h);

This would copy an area from drawpage to viewpage.
