Only log 1 error for consecutive flip failures, instead of filling the log and the disk with errors for each attempted flip. Despite our best efforts we may end up with a BO which gets refused when we try to import it as a framebuffer, see e.g. : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111306 This should not happen, but as the above bugs shows sometimes it does and chances are it will happen again. Note ideally we should check if the import is possible at ms_present_check_flip time, like the amdgpu code is doing since: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu/merge_requests/35 but that requires a chunk of refactoring work on the modesetting driver, so for now this will have to do.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
