[mythtv-users] xorg 99% cpu with bob deinterlace

[David Asher]

Are you using opengl vsync?  If so, make sure your nvidia drivers are no 
newer than 7676.

I've seen lots of reports of opengl vsync consuming huge amounts of CPU 
with newer nvidia drivers.

I've got nvidia 5200 and 3gz single P4 w/bob, opengl, and nvidia 7667 
drivers no problem.
