[mythtv-users] XvMC

[Harry Orenstein]

I don't think XvMC breaks TwinView.  I think you need to make sure
that your primary display is the TV out so that XvMC can run on the
TV screen.

Look in the Nvidia README.  It should mention that XvMC can only run
on the primary display.  I personally use the method (also mentioned in
the README) of having dual X displays and I have gotten XvMC in Myth
working in the past (0.11, 0.12, CVS) by changing my TV out display
to be the primary.  I forget the syntax exactly, but if I remember
correctly, you just have to put a "Screen 0" or "Screen 1" in the
Display section of your XF86Config-4 file to indicate which is the
primary display.  0 is primary, 1 is secondary.  This parameter has
nothing to do with the Screen sections or the screen layout definition
at the bottom of the config file (i.e.: leftof, rightof, etc.).

Hope this helps!
