Genlock is a video clock issue. You need a graphics card which can
genlock or at least framelock it's video output to some external sync.
It's a trivial addition but low on the priority of IHV's considering
their market and the lack of even syncing swapbuffers to vertical
retrace. There are a few cards available where genlock is supported but
driver availability of those on Linux may thin the field to zero.

Cheers,Angus.

"One of the best-known folk theorems of software engineering is that
60% to 75% of conventional software projects are either never
completed or rejected by their intended users. If that range is
anywhere near true (and I've never met a manager of any experience
who disputes it) then more projects than not are being aimed at goals
which are either (a) not realistically attainable, or (b) just plain
wrong."
