Hi all - I am a game developer trying to run my glut-based application
on an MSI RS480M mobo using the onboard ATI XPRESS200 gpu. My only
issue is that I cannot seem to synchronize the framebuffer swaps with
the vertical sync ("sync-to-vblank").

I have found only one resource online which suggested adding the
following line to my xorg.conf:
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"

Apparently, setting the 11th bit in this value tells the X-Server to
sync. However, this has not done the trick. I have never run into
this problem with this when using nForce2 IGP or other Nvidia-based
graphics hardware. Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be?

TIA for any suggestions!
