Whoa, it's you, the other psy* again! :D No prob, and I'm very happy with Compton, if you're not superhuman and can see 120 Hz, not even locking your vsync to your 60 Hz refresh should cause any trouble. I think. And I hear LxQt is adopting Compton as official compositor, so whee!

The difference between 60hz and 120hz on a monitor is really obvious, though. Nothing superhuman required.

So I guess Compton would lock your refresh at 120 Hz on a 120 Hz monitor, and that should look baby-arse-smooth? What hapens if your graphics card can't supply 120 fps, I wonder, would Compton duplicate frames to fill up? Would be cool to find out!

Edit: I just wanted to say "well, I've never seen a 120 Hz monitor" but hey, that's not true! Maybe 16 years ago or so all my monitors were ~120 Hz CRTs :D And on those, 60 Hz would be torture. But I don't know if that's because 60 Hz there means 60 half-frames painted with a scanning line vs. today's 60 full, progressive frames at 60 Hz. Hmm!
