I'm still wondering if for small amounts time the CPU usage spikes. And you might be right about the i915. I guess if Xv is using it to scale 720p to 1080p maybe it is not keeping up. You could set your display output resolution to 720p and let your display do the scaling. Then see if the ghosting goes away. Also please use the v5 patch since the changes to v6 didn't help and I'm not going to include them when I submit a ticket. And one more thing. Does the ghosting go away if you use Usleep vsync method on this machine?

No problem. It would be great if you can figure this ghosting issue out too as I'm sure it will help others. Let me know if I can help more.

I hope to have a ticket ready today.
