I did not solve this particular problem for PVR-350.  You will 
definitely need some sort of vertical retrace synchronization; I have no 
idea how that works on that card.  On nVidia you may choose the old 
/dev/nvidia0 method (for old drivers) or the new OpenGL method (for new 
drivers, though I'm working on solving a crashing problem).

It will certainly take me a few days; maybe not until next week.  But 
I'll get to it.
