I'm done with this. Took out the nVidia card today, only to run into the same old performance problems (i.e. no smooth video playback) with the i915 driver (which were the initial reasons to switch to nVidia). Even without the card, I'm still running into this bug. Guess I have to manually remove the nVidia drivers as well. What a mess. AMD here I come.
