See my previous post; if you don't disable compositing when using VDPAU,
you get a lot of horizontal tearing. It still _works_, it's just not a
lot of fun to watch :).

NVIDIA's aware of the problem, I believe, but I don't know if they're
planning to fix it any time soon, so we're a bit stuck with it.
