Thanks, Balaji.  I just now got a chance to try the opengl_vsync fix, 
and it works like a champ.  What sort of impact on CPU does this have?  
It seems to me that my CPU is pretty much pegged while watching Live TV 
now, but it is not a huge deal since I only rarely watch it for the 
Weather Channel or some such thing.
