You mean this https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-EGL-Wayland-1.15 https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-EGL-Wayland-1.15 and the multy year story that I can guess from the comments in there?
- p_l 2y agoExplicit Sync, yes. The reason why I consider previous implicit sync a bug is that it was essentially unfounded expectation - nothing guaranteed you'd get a magic mutex in the sky that synchronized renders for you, and in fact, you do not want one for maximum performance. Lack of explicit sync also essentially meant common multi-gpu setups would be broken.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoAndroids graphics stack and drivers also use explicit sync, it isn't just a Nvidia thing.
- p_l 2y agoI was not saying it's an nvidia thing, just that significant majority of devices used by wayland proponents had undeclared implicit sync issues that were invalidated when faced with a driver that didn't have them.
