Why is X11 able to be tear free (if drivers a configured properly) and still allows single applications to disable vsync?
I still don't understand why I need Wayland.
- cycloptic 7y agoYou probably don't need it, but you can use it if you really want. If you're using a fullscreen compositing WM in X11 then single applications can't disable vsync, it's the same situation as with Wayland.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 7y agoWayland compositors can have something called direct-scan out, which passes the buffer for the full screen application to KMS, which should be superior to Xorg unredirection (Wayland doesn't "redirect" windows in the first place though).
