I did several tests to make sure it was gone. I tested with the older dri 
ports with and without exavsync, and with the newer dri ports without 
exavysync. But I did not, however, test with the newer ports *with* exavsync.

Currently I have the newer dri ports and no EXAVSync option, and I am not 
experiencing any problems.
