[mythtv-users] MythTV on AMD64 Gentoo

[Robert Goodkin]

~x86 works great.. as should amd64 native...  The only
place (well not the only place but a notable place)
you are going to run into trouble is if you have an
ATI video card as they don't have 64bit binary
drivers.. As far as  I know ivtv is open source and
thus should compile fine.
