yes there are 2 of them.

No, the card tells the monitor or tv stuff like
start drawing NOW
retrace there
draw again
retrace back
TV or monitor are pretty stupid, the card must tell them everything.

Yeah sure then some are missed, but still this has nothing to do with the
topic: retrace sync must be done anyway.

No, but you can apparently choose which one will be taken into account. I hope
the last sentence didn't reveal any confidential information about ATI <g>
But I was able to find a register that tells you if it's odd or even frame and
I adapted the Xv function to take it into account. However I'm unable to see
whether it helped. If someone on the list knows a video that is freely
available and good for determining whether syncing to retrace works, I'd be
very pleased if he/she sent me the URL.

Well I didn't mean that it doesn't compile, on the contrary, it compiled
without hitch, I was just unable to do anything useful (like playing videos)
with it :-)
