Last weekend at FOSDEM 2013 there was an update on atomic page-flipping and mode-setting.

Ville Syrjala of Intel OTC spoke at FOSDEM about the atomic page-flipping and atomic mode-setting for displaying multiple hardware overlay updates atomic display updates and other display areas. Atomic page-flipping has been talked about for many months and is slowly but surely getting ready for mainline integration.
