I think Tony is correct. I recalled the description of the CR Regs which specifically states that you cannot get an interrupt >From the sync. It does look like you can generate a display event Interrupt and detect that it was in fact the vsync/vblank.

I get this from > page 351 (363 of the pdf) of 'Intel 810 Chipset Family Programmer's > Reference Manual.' The i815 PRM says the same thing.

Then in the IRQ handler, just check if bit 9 is set which indicates the occurence of the vsync event. Before exiting from the handler, write a 1 to bit 7 of the IIR (and bit 9 of DPLYSTAS if a vsync did occur) to clear the event (lest you freeze the box). I think what Matt was talking about is bits 4 and 5 of CR11. This doesn't go to the controller, so is pretty much useless.
