LPC: 25 years of X
This was actually covered in another talk on the Graphics track. Jim Gettys, also in attendance, pointed out that there has been an XSync extension for over 20 years, though XFree86/Xorg doesn't implement it. (Apparently this was introduced to support video-conferencing before there was more extensive video acceleration exposed through the XVideo extension.)
