B. The rejection
The examiner relied on the following references in rejecting

and Telecommunications 358-59, 384-86 (2d ed. 1987).

picture processor processes the primary display lists to provide
control data and pixel data to an image buffer in a display
controller. (2:35-54.) Contrary to the examiner's position, we
