- We are doing some visual motion perception experiments, and need to be
- able to determine precisely when the monitor is in vertical retrace.
-
- Presumably, we could use gsync() to synchronize the displays in single-
- buffered mode, but this still does not show when the machine is in retrace,
- and gsync() seems to occaisionally miss a retrace or two. Is there any simple
- way to detect when the vertical retrace occurs?
-
- Thanks in advance.
