use XDamage instead of polling #81

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

It's wasteful for boblight-X11 to constantly poll the screen if nothing is 
happening. XDamage can be used to make sure we only run when needed.

The attached patch adds this option to boblight-X11.

(you can still use a polling mode with this patch, in case you have a buggy 
driver that doesn't report damage properly)
