<pre>I checked to see if first bad/last good commit from my previous bisect still
applied to this problem and it does not. I guess I should have opened a new
bug. Anyway I did another bisect and it gives me this:
# git bisect good
49e72bd4e59085aa940e5af63381c5394ee670ad is the first bad commit
commit 49e72bd4e59085aa940e5af63381c5394ee670ad

I couldn't revert that patch, but I could switch to UXA which does fix the
problem for .914 with or without TearFree. UXA also fixes the problem I had
with the game, with or without TearFree. I thought I had tested that before,
guess I messed that up. For a Linux distribution should UXA be the default? Or
is SNA needed for the newer chip sets?</pre>
