Neither the OS nor REALbasic makes any attempt to sync display

This is considered hard? It requires a single function call when using OpenGL.
A single function call that does what? Delays until the next
vertical refresh of the specified monitor? That would indeed be
useful. (It's certainly been a a few years since the guys at Apple
told me that this was very hard to do in OS X; maybe they've added
something since then.)
If you mean, something that only affects OpenGL rendering, then
that's not as useful. We need to actually know when we're in the
blanking interval, so we can change the display.
