[mythtv-users] nvidia 6200tc tearing and high xorg cpu usage seemingly fixed

Tried 9746 and 9631; both have crashed X.  8774 doesn't but playback is
better with the 9xxx drivers.

I suppose I'll have to avoid using the "Backend Status" page in Mythweb
until a driver comes out that doesn't do this OR the bug is fixed.

I will go ahead and report this bug.
