No, it doesn't. All XSync does is send a GetInputFocus request to the X server
and waits for the reply. This means that after the XSync returns,
the X server has processed all outstanding requests, i.e. that the
XvPutImage() call has made it as far as the video card, but says nothing about
what the video card is up to, IOW it could return some time before the
video card is ready to display the buffer.

Ok, I tried that. It has very little effect.

The other part of my question you didn't answer - am I correct in
assuming that the video card will only display a new frame at
vertical blank time? I'm pretty certain this must be the case,
otherwise there would be significant tearing visible.
