Does this mean that Performer 3.1 does not support __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK?
Does perfly run with a horizontal line in the screen?

Or, does this hopefully mean that a new solution has been provided,
which is superior?
Or, is the original contention bogus?

Please elaborate.

Subject: [info-performer] pfSync and NVIDIA driver

Hi pfAll,
I've encountered severe problems with the new NVIDIA LINUX drivers.
Performer town was running with 2.1 msec DRAW (2.4 GHz, FX5900, visual
0x21, performer 3.0.2, town center, gui on, driver 4363) and now with
5336 I get a draw of > 6.5 msec. If I enable __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK perfly
hangs after texture download.
I know that NVIDIA has changed swapbuffer code since 4363. SGI has
reacted, because in 3.1EA there is no VSYNC at all.
Has anyone an idea what's the problem and if there is a workaround?
Maybe someone in the performer team can answer.
BTW. when will 3.1 be released?
Wuni
