Hi,

in the mean time I did some more experiments with trying waiting for V 
blanking and rendering in multiple segments but whatever I'm trying the 
tearing is still present :-(. Not sure how to continue with this, if the 
numbers in the wiki are right a full screen should be rendered in 
1.24ms, the vertical blanking in my setup is 0.8ms so here is a problem, 
already assuming maximum rendering speed. Best results upto now are 
waiting for a V blank by stalling the processor and using 24Hz refresh 
rate for more rendering time.

How about the AVIVO part?? This should offer specific functions for 
these kind of operations, any support or details on this?? Or can the 
system handle a shadow frame?? Render the frame off-screen and switch 
screen in the V-blanking, this should be fast enough.

Christiaan.
