Intel hw has counters+timestamps for pageflips and vblanks, so you get the cake and eat it, too. I'm also aware of your stringent requirements wrt timestamps, so the recently pimped kms_flip test we have for drm/i915.ko checks vblank timestamps, pageflip timestamps and whether those don't get out of sync somehow in a rather anal way. Results thus far is that the current vblank stuff is (at least for intel) pretty horribly broken - QA reported random and sometimes not-so-random failures across all generations. So we still have plenty of fixing to do until we can get around to implement pageflip timestamping without the irq vblank running all the time. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
