-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All,
I've made an observation on a couple of different machines both with ATI and Intel video cards and I can't seem to figure out why it does it. I have an application that redraws a sequence of 40 rectangles (it is the audio meter in gnome mplayer). When just gnome-mplayer is running the redraw works, but is not as fast as I think it could be. However, if I touch nothing (letting the audio keep playing, etc). Except I open a flash video at youtube, the number of redraws that are visible per second, goes way way up. Again the code has not changed, the rate of updates to the screen from the app have not changed. Only the fact that a flash video is playing causes the refreshes to happen faster, in fact the flash video can be paused and the effect is still there. The second I close the browser with the flash video, the update slows down. I have also seen this effect rather briefly when I get a IM in pidgin, but it is harder to observe than the flash update. Now, what I would like is for the player to work at this higher rate. So is there an API call I can use to do this. I have tried XFlush, gdk_flush, etc... but none of them seem to do what I want. and it happens with GDK drawing and CAIRO drawing. Any ideas?
