Hi Derek, it would be nice if we could also try to get the weston support for the zwp_linux_explicit_synchronization_unstable_v1 protocol in the next release, given that the protocol itself has landed since some time now (wayland-protocols 1.17). The MR for the explicit sync implementation is at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/merge_requests/32 Thanks, Alexandros _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
