description of --sw-opti in manpage describes non-existant vsync options.
Platform: Archlinux
Compton version: $ compton --version v7.4 $ pacman -Qi compton | grep Version Version : 7.4-1
Steps of reproduction
- man compton
- search/scroll to the sw-opti section
- note the text reads:
`--vsync`
Enable VSync.
--sw-opti
Limit compton to repaint at most once every 1 / refresh_rate second to boost performance. This should not be
used with --vsync drm/opengl/opengl-oml as they essentially does --sw-opti's job already, unless you wish to
specify a lower refresh rate than the actual value.
- observe that
--vsync
no longer takes options
Expected behavior
Perhaps the vsync documentation should be expanded to state more than "enables vsync", as it does not lock the frame rate to the monitor vsync as this option does in other software. It's not entirely clear to me what the --vsync
option does do; I get the same glmark framerate with the option enabled or not.
Definitely --sw-opti
description should not reference options that have been removed. I'm not sure what the interaction between --sw-opti
and --vsync
currently; should the two options just never be used together? Or does compton do different things in different circumstances? I guess --sw-opti
is deprecated, so maybe it doesn't matter...
