Standard.  The VIA option is for those using VIA chipset video cards.


And, per your log from the frontend, here is the problem:

Since the system can't find the file, XvMC isn't even starting.

Check /etc/X11 to see if XvMCConfig exists.

If it does, make sure that it contains libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1

If it doesn't create it and put the listed file in.

My setup has the file owned by the mythtv user.

For the record, this is from my back/front end machine with a Celeron 2 
gig, and I'm able to watch HD programs.
