Hi all:

I currently have a Qt5 app that runs fine with `./app -platform eglfs` with 
`WindowSystem=libpvrPVR2D_FRONTWSEGL.so.1` in /etc/powervr.ini _except_ for 
the tearing to the screen that is visible in horizontal motion.

Switching to `WindowSystem=libpvrPVR2D_FLIPWSEGL.so.1` does eliminate the 
tearing, but also introduces noticable lag in dragging the horizontal list. 
It also causes the displayed colors to increase and decrease in intensity 
fairly quickly which the dragging (and the resulting updating of the 
screen) is occuring.

I've also noted that running `sgx_flip_test` results in  FAIL - 
PVRSRV_ERROR_TOOMANYBUFFERS (full output here: 
https://gist.github.com/e8a4902e4ae33ef6ed49 
)

Based on this, I've considered that perhaps the sgx or associated drivers 
doesn't have enough ram, so I've added `cma=64M vram=32M` to the kernel 
command line. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to have any affect on the 
behavior (though the ram amount does look like it shows up in 
`sgx_flip_test`'s output that lists avaliable memory).

At this point it looks like the problem is (from `sgx_flip_test`'s output) 
that "MaxSwapChainBuffers:2" needs to be a larger value than '2'.

What things affect the max swap chain buffers?
Is there something else causing awful performance with FLIP?

Or am I way off base here?
