Ensure that rotation updates happen frequently
The smart scheduler is designed to minimize scheduler overhead by increasing the interval between WaitForSomething calls when a single client is running. However, the software rotation code depends on its BlockHandler being invoked for screen updates; the long delays caused by the smart scheduler optimizations means that screen updates can be delayed a long time as well. The change is simple -- prevent the smart scheduler from increasing the scheduling interval while any screen is using software rotation. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
