A minor news update here.
With some twiddling, I have got vsyncing to work on Linux using an NVidia card
with the NVidia drivers.
Unfortunately, while the NVidia drivers purport to support the
GLX_SGI_swap_control extension, they don't actually seem to. And, besides,
it's impossible to query what value has been set with this extension (unlike
with the MESA equivalent).
The upshot is that you have to use the nvidia settings tool or set the
environment variable __SYNC_TO_VBLANK to turn on syncing, but there's no easy
way for E-UAE to tell whether this has been done(1). :-(
Grumble, grumble, grumble.
(1) Actually, there does seem to be an X extension for setting/querying
properties of the NVidia driver. I don't know if this documented, though.
Something to check...
Cheers,
Rich
