[mythtv-users] alternative GPU - graphics cards with open source drivers question

[Jason Weinstein]

I know this thread is a bit old, but I found this card at newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814272001

It is a "S3 Graphics Chrome S27 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
- Retail". Could this card be used for Unichrome Pro XvMC in MythTV?
It is $80 and has S-Video and DVI out.

I know it is only PCI-x, but if it does support XvMC then it may be a
preferable option to the nVidia cards. The newer nVidia drivers cause
problems with XvMC and the older drivers that worked well don't work
with newer kernels. And I believe the newer nVidia cards don't do XvMC
very well anyway.
