Other problem of leaving the number of frames to enter deep sleep to minumum is that it would almost never do selective update it would be like a PSR1. > > -DK > > > > > > > > > > > > /* FIXME: selective update is probably totally broken > > > > because > > > > it doesn't > > > > * mesh at all with our frontbuffer tracking.
