How do I read the Vsync register on my PC video card output?

[Guyzini]

I am desiging an application in LabVIEW that presents jpgs on the monitor. The problem is I need the presentation to be synchronized to the video refresh rate (I require mS timing in the application) and I inveriably get a jitter depending on when the CRT starts to "draw" the video signal. I need to be able to poll the video registers to "see" when the VSYNC pulse is initiated.

Hi Guyzini,

I remember seeing a similar post on discussion forum a few days back. Here's the link to it.

Please let me know if you have more questions on the issue.
