It's good to know it's available when you need it (and can arrange a
local display). Now I can believe in progress again! :) Thanks.
Cheers, Tim
Back in the 80s, the humble Commodore 64 could be
readily programmed
to fire an interrupt on vertical sync. Have 20 years of progress
really deprived us of this fine feature, or is it just missing from X?
it was missing from X until Xorg put it back in as an extension. its
obviously not of much use in a general purpose X app, since the display
may not be the host on which the app runs, making access to the vsync
pulse pretty pointless.
