Oddly, it works perfectly in Weston:

$ es2gears_wayland
EGL_VERSION = 1.4 (DRI2)
vertex shader info:
fragment shader info:
info:
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.176 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.952 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.952 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.964 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.928 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.964 FPS

[E-bugs (e-bugs)]

es2gears_wayland is requesting two frame callbacks per frame, and then reporting a framerate double of what it is actually drawing, see this log:

This is apparently caused by the fix for bug 101814, see also https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/55

Also seen in gnome-shell on Ubuntu 18.04:

$ es2gears_wayland
EGL_VERSION = 1.4 (DRI2)
vertex shader info:
fragment shader info:
info:
597 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.138 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.880 FPS
598 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.481 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.952 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.880 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.880 FPS
596 frames in 5.0 seconds = 119.105 FPS

But strangely not in weston:

$ es2gears_wayland
EGL_VERSION = 1.4 (DRI2)
vertex shader info:
fragment shader info:
info:
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.176 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.952 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.952 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.964 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.928 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.964 FPS

New upstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105376

[Daniel Stone (daniels)]

One 'frame' will be requested by the EGL implementation and another by es2gears. That's fine, as neither will receive the other's events.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Also, on a real 120Hz display, es2gears_wayland reports 240 FPS. Verified in both gnome-shell and weston.
