Hi,
For your info:
I have just tried compiling MythTv from CVS 2005-04-19 with this
patch for a Via M10K system with XVMC VLD.
I get the compiler error:
videooutbase.cpp: In member function `int
VideoOutput::DisplayOSD(VideoFrame*, OSD*, int, int)':
videooutbase.cpp:975: error: 'class OSDSurface' has no member named
'GetRevision'
