[meta-freescale] Vivante drivers and VSync in EGL/X11

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

I noticed that the current Vivante GPU drivers are pretty basic with 
regards to buffering, page-flipping etc. When I run a fullscreen X11 
EGL/GLES2 application, screen tearing is clearly visible. Explicitely 
calling eglSwapInterval() with value 1 does not help - in fact, this 
call is completely ignored.

Tearing is very bad for animated user interfaces. I know there is 
functionality at kernel level to sync to the screen refresh rate, but 
the Vivante drivers would have to make use of it. Is there any more 
information on this problem? Perhaps some not-yet-released but announced 
drivers with vsync support?

cheers,
   Carlos
