It would be really nice if the i915 driver could (optionally) sync with the vblank like ATI ( and mga? ) drivers support. This would avoid ugly tearing effects.
okay I've made a first pass attempt at vblank I'll attach a patch for the drm and a patch for Mesa
Created attachment 4115 [details] [review] drm patch to add vbl to i915
Created attachment 4116 [details] [review] mesa patch to add vbl to i915
okay I've checked these into the tree finally...
woohoo, many thanks for this Dave :) However I dont have the h/w anymore to test :( I'll see if I can dig something up.
