[mythtv-users] Enabling XvMC

[nik gibson]

Hello,

I've almost got a working HD config, my last hurdle is enabling XvMC.  I
have an Nvidia GeForce 6200 card and glxinfo output shows:

direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

I've read and tried everything.  I have a /etc/X11/XvMCConfig file which
contains the one line (with no spaces) libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
I've used every possible option in my xorg.conf and I've gone through the
libraries to verify they point to the proper Nvidia files.  What else can I
check to enable XvMC?  It's definitely not working at the moment, even on a
3Ghz P4 machine I get the occasional stutter when playing HD.

My xorg file is attached:

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
