i copied this code to wait for the vertical retrace from a book:

void Wait_Vertical_Retrace (void)
{
  while ( (inp (0x3da) && 0x8) != 0 ) {};
  while ( (inp (0x3da) && 0x8) == 0 ) {};
}

my program works without waiting for vertical retrace; when i include it, it
fails on run-time (i think it goes in infinite loop into
Wait_Vertical_Retrace function).
i can't figure out what's wrong with this function. please help me!
