Good to see this getting tackled. Here's what I think is missing:

      * Set up the CRTC*_GUI_TRIG_VLINE register such that it waits for
        scanout to be outside of the destination vertical range.
      * Only wait if the window isn't redirected (backing pixmap is the
        screen pixmap)
      * Select the CRTC to to synchronize to according to visibility of
        the window, or if it's the same on both CRTCs, according to user
        preference (maybe reuse the XV_CRTC attribute for this?)
