I am not sure.  It helps me, but I do not know if my case is peculiar. 
I do not have this problem on an amd64 7-STABLE (same revision as above) 
using the radeonhd driver.  However, on the amd64 system, the RV610 chip 
does not have hardware acceleration at this time.  Can anyone replicate 
my problem?
