I wanted the kernel to return the unwaited time (or at least a upper bound to it, with coarse clocks that's the best we can do) so that ioctl restarting after a signal does the right thing. Exposing that any further than libdrm doesn't make much sense imo. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch - +41 (0) 79 364 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
