Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm wondering if you've noticed this problem?

Since 11.04 I've noticed that, whenever a kernel update gets pushed through, the result is video tearing with high def files in .mkv format.

The solution is quite simple but annoying, purge and then reinstall the nvidia drivers.

I notice this on all my nvidia systems, but especially on my atom ion platform which serves as my htpc.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
