I may be wrong but your onboard graphics is AGP, that
is another thing to check but since you had good
performance with mplayer I thought not, cat
/proc/drivers/agp/status

Don't know of TvWish.  With your CPU I would think
that you would want to have no jobs running while you
are trying to watch, that includes transcode, commflag
and mythtfilldatabase; but once again I am not an
expert in this.

Dunno, I had glxgears running earlier w/o problem and
only noticed today the EE on loading glx, haven't
tried glxgears since I fixed the problem (kids are
watching PBSkids now).  I've installed using Jarod's
guide twice now and it seems I had to do the move and
link both times, been trying to get slackware to play
well with myth hence the multip[e installs of FC3.
