[mythtv-users] XvMC output not working

[David ellis]

Its funny, I've spent most of the day trying to get this to work  
properly, succeeded (briefly) - only to find intermittent failures.

Hardware:
AMD64 3200, with 1GB of RAM
NVidia 5200
HD3000 using DVB drivers

Software:
MythTV 18.1
Nvidia .7667
Gentoo Linux with gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r4

I can get acceptable HD playback with real time threads - but real  
time threads crashes the program guide if I try and change a channel.
XVMC will work (sometimes) - but it is really random.

Nvidia has a open bug for this (it is a driver bug) - but .7667 was  
supposed to be the fix.

Anyone who has this working - What Video card are you using? (maybe I  
could just upgrade/downgrade the video).
