[mythtv-users] XvMC causes "Failed to Reinit Video" on nForce 6150

Hi,

Just one last niggle left in my system - the CPU can't quite handle HD
content - it plays, and the audio is fine, but the video drops lots of
frames. So I figured I'd use XvMC, but whenever I enable it and try to
watch any TV it briefly shows a black screen with the OSD, then a
second later goes back to the fullscreen menu and displays a
confirmation screen telling me "Failed to Reinit Video".

The machine is running Debian Testing (Etch) for AMD64, and I've
configured /etc/X11/XvMCConfig to use
/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1. I'm using an nForce 6150 GPU, and
the nVidia binary driver 9746.

Here's what it tells me in the log:

Any ideas?

Thanks,
