Description Ralf Jung 2013-07-14 17:17:39 UTC 
The auto-detection of the swap strategy does not work - even though I am on an NVidia machine, it uses the "Only when cheap" strategy.

Reproducible: Always




The reason is that at the time Options::setGlPreferBufferSwap is executed, GLPlatform::instance()->driver() is still Driver_Unknown.

Pushed by luebking into branch 'KDE/4.11'.

keep buffer swap pref automatic until GPU detected

enforce to "e" (cheap) when driver is still unknown after
detection must be assumed to have run, so a sane value is available
when the context is up
