[Xpert]AdjustFrame in XFree86-drivers

2002-11-10 Thread Kral Stefan
Hello, At the moment, some XFree86-drivers force synchronization with the vertical retrace of the CRT whenever AdjustFrame is called, whereas some drivers do not. I think that a uniform behaviour would be favorable. Tests have shown that the modifications necessary are trivial and that the

[Xpert]Synchronization with Vertical Retrace

2002-10-16 Thread Kral Stefan
Hi! I want to do a fast, fluent animation with XFree86. To avoid tearing effects, I need to do two things: 1) Use some sort of double-buffering techniqueDONE (I use Xdbe or a pixmap+XCopyArea for that) 2) Synchronize the swapping of the buffers with TBD
