Thoughts on Pegasos

I'm really curious if there is any way of enabling VSync?

VSync is default in MorphOS tinygl.


To (temporarily) disable VSync you need to set environment variable:

Code: [Select]

1.> setenv TGLSYNC 0

And then flush the tinygl.library (if loaded):

Code: [Select]

1.> flushlib tinygl.library

If you want to have no VSync permanently:

Code: [Select]

1.> setenv SAVE TGLSYNC 0

Regarding Classic AOS CyberGraphX: CGX has "VSync" for all well behaving apps (double/triplebuffering using screenbuffers). I have no clue whether W3D has such concept, or if it depends on the app using W3D.

Double/triplebuffering... does that count as VSync, or am I getting a bit offf track here (looking at your answer concerning CGX)?

It doesn't necessarily count as VSync, but the intuition/graphics screenbuffering offers nice OS-friendly way to have it. It depends on the way you use the buffering, it offers the facility for VSync, but can also be used without.

See, I am getting a bit confused since I, on the PC side, often have come across video settings applications which have offered both 'buffering: double/triple' and 'vsync' as separate options.

Those two are separate, but AOS doesn't offer compatible VSync without screenbuffer buffering (at least not compatible with all native graphics, CGX and P96).
