[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/2] First attempt at asynchronous SwapBuffers

Marek,

Regarding swap handling, there was a lengthy discussion about this topic at 
XDC in Nürnberg.
May be Keith can comment on that as he also presented these ideas.
But short, the overall aim of this discusstion was to make the dri2 buffer swap 
more asynchronous.
This does not exactly solve the problem with the tripple flush, but as far as I 
can see this interferes with your attempts to move the buffer swap round trip 
into an own thread. Or at least provides a similar fire and forget semantics 
for the buffer swap that you aim for with a different buffer swap thread.

Keith, what is the further plan on that?

Greetings

Mathias
