I think better to postpone this (we can always add a flag) and only do it when there's a real need.

So the event we generate should be for the very first pixel iirc, or top of frame or whatever OML_sync says, so it should match vulkan I think. I just meant we can remove the #define since it's rejected anyway (we reject all unknown flags), and we can easily add it later on. >> drm_crtc_vblank_get pls, would be sweet if we can avoid the (dev, pipe) >> pairs as much as possible.

I think the size should be a problem, since the old vblank ioctl uses sizeof(e->event.vbl), extending event.seq shouldn't be a problem. But we can also postpone this, since iirc we've done the events correctly and you can extend them at the end. >> But might be useful just for consistency. > > This would require making the event larger, which seems like a bad idea... > >>> +#define DRM_CRTC_SEQUENCE_FIRST_PIXEL_OUT 0x00000004 /* Signal when first pixel is displayed */ >> >> I thought this is already the semantics our current vblank events have (in >> the timestamp, when exactly the event comes out isn't defined further than >> "somewhere around vblank").
