I'm not sure what a good solution might be then. Is just waiting for always the first crtc acceptable? All the code I could find is passing 0 as an argument anyway, so that's effectively the same behaviour anyway here. And getting tearing might be a good argument in favour of moving to KMS :) Thanks Maxime -- Maxime Ripard, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
