Yeah. There's definitely something weird happening video-related with
this card, but I can't quite figure out what. Wondering if it is failing
to relocate the video address or if maybe the card's hardware prevents
speculative execution for the original video address and not the new one
or something really fubar, but I'm grasping at straws until I get a chance
to play with it again.
