VRR calls `clutter_frame_clock_schedule_update_now` which would keep the buffer queue full, which in turn prevented direct scanout mode. Because OnscreenNative currently only supports direct scanout with double buffering. We now break that feedback loop by preventing triple buffering from being scheduled when the frame clock mode becomes variable. Long term this could also be solved by supporting triple buffering in direct scanout mode. But whether or not that would be optimal given the latency penalty remains to be seen. |

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
