Hi,
     I've been getting to grips with the different modes of VSync lately and
although I've learnt a great deal off of past ng threads one thing still
puzzles me.

V-blanks: 50 (PAL) per second
    This makes sense, PAL runs at 50 fps so would expect 50 vertical blanks
(one per frame)

H-blanks: 312 (PAL) per v-blank
    This I DON'T get. Where does this figure (312) come from?

WHY 312 h-blanks every frame?

I naturally assume that if I'm using 320x256 res. then there would be
255/256 h-blanks. Where is my logic deserting me?

Cheers,

Scott
