One can imagine changing the kernel interface so that a new flip request

the new flip buffer went idle and do the replacement then, rather than
immediately when the flip call was made. I think that would give us what
we want; buffers would be queued for flip as soon as they were ready.
I guess another flag could be added to drmModePageFlip(), e.g.
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_REPLACE, that would replace the buffer,
upon the new buffer becoming idle, and, if a page flip event had
been requested, send the event for the buffer being replaced.
I found the fix I'd made in January and just sent that out to the list
[PATCH] present: Queue flips for later execution
Great, thanks :)
