You may try to use Scivi's FPS controls near fpsctl.c
It should be simple to rip it off.

I've a kinda ported scivi to libvisual. It runs under libvisual xmms plugin.
In different window :) All mouse/keyboard events are also ok both for libvisual
and scivi :-)

I think that supplying X Window identifier, rendering, position,
viewport size should be sufficient nearly for any purpose.
And of course resize events etc.

Optionally (or as a general rule) plugin can use some higher level
API (e.g. placed in libvisual) for framebuffer in system ram or some
render-ready OpenGL context.
