Neither but your instinct was correct.  The system upgrade included a
glibc upgrade which overwrote my /usr/include/linux/fb.h with a "new"
one.  The problem with that being that standard glibc does not include
the:

#define FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC       _IOW('F', 0x20, int)

so when I subsequently built directfb-0.9.18, all of the cool matrox irq
vsync support was missing.

CPU usage is down to a respectable 35% again.

Is there any chance (i.e. has there been any attempt even?) of getting
this IRQ patch into the mainstream kernel and the corresponding
FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC define into glibc so that this stuff doesn't always
need patching?
