Chris Wilson 7538be3315 dri: Enable triple-bufferred pageflips 
By popular demand.

Triple-buffering trade-offs output latency versus jitter. By having a
pre-rendered frame ready to swap in following a pageflip, we avoid the
scenario where the latency between receiving the flip complete signal
from the kernel, waking up the vsynced application, it render the new
frame and then for the server to process the swap request is greater
than the frame interval, causing us to miss the vblank. The result is
that application can become frame-locked to 30fps. Instead, we report to
the application that the first frame swap is immediately completed,
supply a new back buffer (or else the rendering would be blocked on
waiting for the front-buffer to be swapped away from the scanout) and
let them proceed to render the second frame. The second frame is added
to the swap queue, and the client throttled to vrefresh. (If the client
missed the vblank, the swap queue is empty and the client is immediately
woken again, whilst the pageflip is pending.)

Note, for practical reasons this only applies to page-flipping, for
example, calls to glXSwapBuffer() on fullscreen applications.

xf86-video-intel
Open-source X.org graphics driver for Intel graphics
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.com/

What is xf86-video-intel
------------------------
The xf86-video-intel module is an open-source 2D graphics driver for
the X Window System as implemented by X.org. It supports a variety of
Intel graphics chipsets including:

	i810/i810e/i810-dc100,i815,
	i830M,845G,852GM,855GM,865G,
	915G/GM,945G/GM/GME,946GZ
	G/GM/GME/Q965,
	G/Q33,G/Q35,G41,G/Q43,G/GM/Q45
	PineView-M (Atom N400 series)
	PineView-D (Atom D400/D500 series)

Where to get more information about the driver
----------------------------------------------
The primary source of information about this and other open-source
drivers for Intel graphics is:

Documentation specific to the xf86-video-intel driver including
possible configuration options for the xorg.conf file can be found in
the intel(4) manual page. After installing the driver this
documentation can be read with the following command:

	man intel
