A fix is already available in the upstream drm Git branch vblank-rework. It's almost ready to be merged to the master branch (and consequently to the Linux kernel) but there are still some issues to be worked out. I don't think the X driver can handle this better, so I'm reassigning to the kernel. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
