Uncomment the #vsync line to enable opengl-mswc swap method.
pkill -USR1 compton
Expected behavior
I'd expect compton to either not freeze when enabling vsync with an "on the fly" re-init by SIGUSR1, or failing that ignore the new vsync option (and perhaps print an error message advising the user of this) if freezing is unavoidable.
Current Behavior & Other details
X appears to freeze, i.e. nothing new is drawn. Note that it's still possible to switch to a console and kill compton to fix things. Also, starting compton from that config works as expected.
