I think this will work.  Call fps() in your main loop just after VSync(0).

void fps(void) {
    static int previous;
    int now, fps;

    now=VSync(-1);                        // VSyncs since program start
    fps=50/(now-previous);            // for PAL. use 60/(now-previous) for
NTSC
    FntPrint("FPS: %d\n",fps);
    previous=now;
}
