Yianni, thanks for the information. My xorg.conf is VERY simple. Before I
added the suggested composite and triplebuffer options the entire thing was
this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option  "UseEvents"     "True"
Option  "ModeDebug"     "True"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

 I'm going to have to google around because I have a Sony Bravia and when I
hit the "display" button it shows me the resolution but I've never been
able to find the refresh rate.
