Is there a hook before before-make-frame-hook for new frames?

Is there a hook before before-make-frame-hook for new frames?

[Alex Bennée]

Hi,

I'm trying to optimise a fix for running Emacs under ChromeOS that means
I need to disable Frame Buffer Compression on the system before the X
window frame is created. See:

https://github.com/stsquad/emacs-chromebooks/commit/2de6546dd2bfb64e60b833397299659880f11501

However it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a hook before Emacs
starts sending anything to the X window system when a new frame is
created?

Cheers,

`before-make-frame-hook' perhaps.

Yes that's been what I've been using. It seems the problem is there is a
lag between writing the fbc control word and the change being made to
the internal state of the driver.

I suspect I need to be a bit more clever, I'm just not sure how yet.

Cheers,
