You'll have to make it settable -- SIGALRM is already used by the X server for scheduling. Of course, we could eliminate that if I could get the current time of day mapped into the X server address space :-) > > * The interface needs to provide a vblank counter, so the user can easily > > detect dropped vblanks. > > Has been there from day 1.

It would be nice to get it without another syscall; there's certainly enough space in the siginfo to pass it along. I assume you'd pass along the current counter value and not some kind of delta.
