and more deterministic display

["daniel sheltraw" <l5gibson@hotmail.com>]

Thanks Kev


>What do you mean by "have it displayed at a time I have control over"?

   By this I mean that rather than waiting for the next refresh period
(pardon me if I am not using appropriate terminology) I would like to be 
able to force the image to be displayed at a certain time. Of course there 
would be latency issues but that could be measured and taken into account.
   Here is one imagined way that I would like to do this. Lets say I need to 
display an image at precisely (within 0.1 msec I am using a realtime OS) 100 
msecs relative to some other event. Maybe I could reset the graphics 
sequencer and at some point
during that 100 msec and then set then sequencer at 100 msec - latency
for the set. Like I said this is my imaganery vision of what I would like to 
be able to do. Of course I don't know what or how to really
accomplish this or how safe it might be for the monitor.

Daniel
