Daniel, I think the idea was that we have a method of knowing when a surface is ready to be shown today (the compositor can hook into surfaces to know when they have swap_buffer called on them). So USC can just wait for that to happen with a non-null buffer to know that the surface is ready.
So the requested enhancement exists today, assuming the 4-buffer bug is fixed. That's the motivation to tie that flaw to this bug report. Granted, maybe there could be a more elegant way to implement the enhancement? But I mostly care about it being possible, not necessarily elegant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280842 Title: [enhancement] Need a method of hiding surfaces until they are ready to draw themselves To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1280842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
