It's a G45 intel chipset, GMA x4500 video
Anholt recently sent in some patches, VSync is working for me now.
I just booted my kernel with PCI=NOMSI, and it's very harder to
reproduce now, unless I put my CPU under load by playing HD h264 video
and have it draw subtitles.  They sometimes render incorrectly, before
X locks.  It won't do it anymore on SD stuff.

I started having problems past intel 2.4.1 drivers, with the GEM
kernel.  I'm hoping this will work for 2.6.28 so I can start running
stable releases of components instead of stuff built from GIT.
