[comp.sys.atari.st] Irregular Screen Flicker

shc1@ukc.ac.uk (S.H.Cogheil) (02/15/89)

I am currently writing a graphics routine which requires the alternating display
of two screens. At present I am using the set_screen routine to change both the
logical and physical display base.
Doing this on the odd occasion is fine, but when I repeatidly switch between 
screens, I get a FLASH of the previous screen appearing about half-way down the
present screen, and this occurs at none to regular intervals.
It was my understanding that the set_screen command actually waited for the 
vertical interrupt before it switched bases, if this is the case, WHY do I get a
DODGEY display.
