On the Raspberry Pi, when using the propietary graphics stack, double buffer (low input lag) was only possible when using the plain dispmanx graphics backend. So the max_swapchain=2 option was ignored on this configuration.
With this small patch, eglSwapBuffers() is supposed to wait for vsync and NOT triple-buffer when max_swapchain=2. It was found out thanks to popcornmix on this thread:
