The problem is this part of NVWaitVSync(): /* If crtc1 is active, this will produce one, otherwise zero */ /* The assumption is that at least one is active */ OUT_RING (pNv->crtc_active[1]); What happens is that it will wait for vsync on CRTC 1 if it's active, and CRTC 0 otherwise. I assume this was added because bad things happen if you wait for an inactive CRTC. This is of course very incorrect in dual-head as it means it will always wait for CRTC 1. And the vsync of the two CRTCs are unlikely to occur at the same time. To fix this, the NVWaitVSync() function needs to wait on the relevant CRTC. But pScrn seems to be card global, so I guess another parameter needs to be added. I'm not sure how the callers can determine it either though. Closing, since your patch supposedly fixes it. |
