Yes it supports both.

I may try that tonight. The spec file I built my RPM from is the ATRPMS
spec file (minus Axel's custom macros) so I would think if the build was
broken it would break for people using his RPMs, too. But you never
know.

As far as I know there is no ioapic on this motherboard. But even IRQ
problems should not cause such a huge difference in X's CPU usage...myth
is definitely doing something different than mplayer here. Why else
would myth make the X server use 10x as much CPU?
