I'm setting up a new mythbuntu 14.04.1 system with an nvidia GT730 video 
card (nvidia 331 driver).  I am trying to get rid of the tearing.  I 
have been following the suggestions at 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frame_display_timing, but I am not having any 
success.  I have added the udev rule to change permissions on /dev/rtc 
and verified that they are correct.  I have added an entry to 
/etc/sysctl.conf to set the max-user-freq and verified that it is correct.

The output of mythtvfrontend.real -v playback:

ls -l /dev/rtc*

cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
1024

Any ideas on what to try next?
