If you're really fortunate, the graphics hardware was designed to
help in this frame synchronization. Just how you do it depends on
the graphics subsystem (software and hardware) architecture and
capabilities. As to who "should" take care of it, it "should" be
whoever is in the best position to detect the VRI onset, perhaps
an interrupt handler (which would simply switch buffer pointers).
