Re: Mix LGR and Text?



Joseph,

You're right, now I believe I understand: after finding (vsync or
whatever) by polling, you can be sure that you can use (whatever the
amount) of cycles before the next (vsync or whatever) arrives, so as
long as you don't exceed this number of cycles you'll be still in time
to lock to the next (vsync or whatever)...

You have to split your code in chunks of no-more-than whatever cycles.

Thnks,
Jorge
