[mythtv-users] Minor Screen Refresh Visible

I find the problem a little difficult to explain - which is probably
why I'm finding it hard to google for it.

My video is 98% fine - but there is a bit of a refresh artifact that
rolls from top to bottom across the screen over a few seconds.  Most
of the time it is not even noticable, but when the image is static
(ie. menus) it's more visible.  I have always had this - when I was
outputting to a CRT, and now on my new LCD TV.

My xorg.conf is attached, and my video card details are below (from
lshw); although if there was a non-nVidia specific setting I could
try, I'd be curious to know that, too, as I'm considering pulling the
card in favour of o/b video for heat and power reasons.

                capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller
bus_master cap_list
                configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 module=nvidia

Am I making any sense to anyone?  ;>

Cheers.
