How about something like this: If the swap can't be scheduled using a vertical blank event, because the relevant CRTC isn't running, check if the window's swap interval has elapsed since the last swap (using the refresh rate of the relevant CRTC's current / last set mode). If it hasn't, suspend the client until it has before doing the swap with a blit. -- 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
