The virtio-gpu present fence completes when the device has consumed the
frame: real completion feedback, and tear-freedom by snapshot semantics.
It is not a vblank — base virtio-gpu 2D has no display-refresh event at
all (Linux fakes one with a timer), so nothing paces presents to the
monitor. The code and docs claimed vsync anyway; now they don't.
- backend.hasVsync -> hasFencedPresent, with an honest doc comment
- marker 'display: vsync present ok' -> 'display: fenced present ok'
(display-modeset test expectation updated, passes)
- display-v2.md gains a 'Fenced is not vsync' note; the vsync claims in
both v2 docs are corrected
- true vsync arrives with a native driver's vblank IRQ, or approximated
by a compositor frame clock
