[Piglit] [PATCH 2/2] glx: Replace glFlush calls with glFinish

[Marek Olšák]

I think glFenceSync+glFlush in one context and glWaitSync (server-side
synchronization) in the other context would be the best solution. It
shouldn't block the CPU, but it should set the right ordering of
commands. glFinish seems to be overkill.
