Bug 1202 - Add support of Adaptive Vsync via [GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control_tear
[GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control_tear extensions support asynchronous buffer swaps, i.e. adaptive Vsync. <https://www.opengl.org/wiki/SwapInterval_aka_vsync#Adaptive_Vsync> <https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/wgl_swap_control_tear.txt> <https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/glx_swap_control_tear.txt> <http://keithp.com/blogs/async_flip/> The extensions utilizes a negative interval value, enabling late swaps to occur without synchronization to the video frame. Hence '-1' has new semantics, previously it was the 'default value' of 'untouched vsync interval'. New default is: - 0 for unrealized context - 1 for realized context +++ It requires [GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control, hence we shall ensure to use use this extension in the implementation of GLContext.setSwapInterval(..). +++ Mesa3D seems to support GLX_SGI_swap_control only. +++ Implemented on Windows and X11. +++ On GNU/Linux using NVidia driver w/ my setup(*), sadly the query GLX.glXQueryDrawable(displayHandle, drawable.getHandle(), GLX.GLX_LATE_SWAPS_TEAR_EXT, val); always returns zero here, indicating async vsync is not supported.
