We are happy to host an interview with David, discussing the present and future of XFree86 project. Update: Still confused how a VSYNCed desktop look like? Read here.

"Of course, the smoothness of VSYNC is not very visible on LCD's, but

It was always used on Amigas and is one of the reasons the GUI looked
smooth even on what by modern standards is a slow computer. The Amiga
graphics chips on the motherboard generate an interrupt on vertical
sync.
