This reverts commit 50e2259404344a5a3932b8e3873e1c047f31056b. Temporarily revert the removal until we have more information about this whole thing. Turns out a couple of drivers don't work properly without the sync fence, including intel, llvmpipe and NVIDIA. Although sync fence is needed, from the information I have gathered (looking at old bug reports, protocol specifications, look at other compositors' code), compton's usage of it is not proper. So we need to rewrite it in the future, after we get more information from driver developers. Signed-off-by: Yuxuan Shui <yshuiv7@gmail.com>
Compton
This is a development branch, bug to be expected
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained. I'll merge pull requests as they appear upstream, as well as trying to fix bugs reported to upstream, or found by myself.
