[PATCH] drm: vc4: Don't wait for vblank when updating the cursor

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commonly used desktop environments such as xfce4 and gnome
on debian sid can flood the graphics drivers with cursor
updates.  Because the current implementation is waiting
for a vblank between cursor updates, this will cause the
display to hang for a long time since a typical refresh
rate is only 60Hz.

This is unnecessary and unexpected by user mode software,
so simply swap out the cursor frame buffer without waiting.
