RTC might not be too bad, at least on a tickless system.  But I pity the
fool who tries to run a combined OpenGL/RTC vsync on a 100Hz-tick
system, especially w/o real-time scheduling.

Is top/bottom field actually available?? It was not when I wrote this code.

Any thoughts toward porting the video-out system to use Xcb, which is
thread-safe, instead of Xlib?
