Ville Syrjälä a80aff283b present: Don't ping-pong between sync and async flips
Many Intel GPUs can't switch between sync and async flips
willy nilly. Sometimes that change itself will take one
extra frame. This means that constant ping-pong between
sync and async flips is only going to cause problems.
Stay in async flip mode as long as the client is requesting
it.

The present protocol spec does say:
"If 'options' contains PresentOptionAsync, and the 'target-msc'
 is less than or equal to the current msc for 'window', then
 the operation will be performed as soon as possible, not
 necessarily waiting for the next vertical blank interval."

So there is an expectation that a future target-msc will
still be respected even when PresentOptionAsync is specified.
Staying in async flip mode won't actually change that given
that present_scmd_pixmap() takes the flip mode into account
when calculating exec_msc. So visually the flip should still
happen on the correct target_msc regardles of whether we
executed it as sync or async.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
