I spent some time reading and investigating on this. Bear with me, I am doing Kodi development in my spare time and may not be up-to-date on all platforms. Seems Wayland is much better suited to serve as reference platform as X11 does. Is that correct? If so I don't request OML_sync_control for EGL. Don't waste resources and let the old crap die.
