I wonder if all this trouble is really necessary. I honestly can't imagine any user of this API requiring non-monotonic timestamps and breaking with monotonic ones. I think it was simply a mistake that we didn't make them monotonic in the first place (or maybe it wasn't even possible when this API was first introduced). -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
