With Wayland, there would be EGL_EXT_swap_buffers_with_damage, I guess something like this could be useful on GLX. > The other caveat is that DRI3 does not support single CRTC flipping like > DRI2.

I don't think kwin supports flipping a single CRTC, else I wouldn't see any performance difference in animations on the primary monitor when I plug the second one. Anyway, I need to set kwin to "full scene repaints" to avoid tearing, with DRI3 it does in fact partial repaints using GLX_EXT_buffer_age, which is faster than real full screen repaints with DRI2.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
