Yes, interesting set of bugs. Drawing requests from glxgears are small, and X11 holds a lot of them in it's receive buffers. Sometime ago I had ~16k requests on nvidia card with nvidia driver. As the new glxgears calculates per-frame rotation from fps, it receives very large fps value (16k requests gets out almost in- stantly) and sets very low per-frame rotation. On the screen, however, there is usually 60 fps rendering speed -- as it is sync to vblank. This results in the very slow visible gear motion. Also, after pulling 16k requests, glx would stack and prevent glxgears from pulling more. This would result in glxgears not printing it's fps results for some time. And even suspended glxgears would draw something for minutes. Well, XFlush() after frame drawing in glxgears would fix that more or less fine. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
