Hi all,
  I'm seeing this on ubuntu jaunty when running mythtv. I've tried both with and without compiz (compiz is on by default in jaunty - I turned it off to see if that would help). It doesn't seem to make any difference. The myth logs show:

2009-01-31 12:10:52.935 Video timing method: DRM

Which suggests that myth is trying to vsync. It just doesn't seem to be successful. (although the tear is often in a consistent location which might suggest it is sync'd to the VBI, just not in phase... or something.)

I also note that the mailing list mail #042530 mentioned in the original report mentions a patch that would fix this in a kludgy way. Is there a pointer to that patch anywhere for those of us who wouldn't mind a short term kludge?

Be well,

Will
