[mythtv-users] OpenGL vsync

If OpenGL VSync is working, then the video timing
method should be listed as SGI OpenGL.  Since it is
listed as RTC, you are not using OpenGL VSync.

However, what you've pasted from the logs indicates
that the OpenGL VSync checking code is failing.  Thus,
it appears you have it enabled in the frontend, but
your card or driver doesn't support it.

What type of video card do you have, and which driver
are you running?  As a point of reference, I am using
a GeForce 5200FX card with the nVidia driver version
7174, and OpenGL VSync is working just fine.

Are you using an nVidia card and nVidia driver? 
OpenGL VSync might not work with other cards (i.e.
ATI), and probably won't work any driver but the
binary/proprietary nVidia one.
