NAME

       vga_waitretrace - wait for vertical retrace.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_waitretrace(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Wait  for  vertical  retrace, that is when the video beam goes dark and returns from the bottom line to the top line. Useful to synchronize
       animation with monitor refresh.

       However, Linux is a multiuser OS, thus some time might have passed already when the function returns. Also, not all cards support  this	in
       all modes (or with more or less good results).

SEE ALSO

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
