It was enough to get me thinking... it turns out I hadn't enabled
non-free backports. Once I'd sorted that, it was pretty easy - though a
bit of a pain as it was a changeover from nouveau.
My TV card picture no longer gets distorted by window edges, so that is
better for a start. I hope nouveau improves enough one day, but this
will do for now.
