Hi I recently upgraded my fedora 7 system to 8, mainly to get at the
latest intel 2.1.1 xorg driver which I couldn't figure out how to build
on the f7 system. The upgrade went smoothly. All the video bits seem
to be working properly. DRI is enabled, glxinfo shows direct rendering
is enabled. glxgears is working. However, I am now unable to set 'Use
OpenGL for vertical sync for timing' in mythtv. I get video that is
unwatchable and the following error message from myth:

If I disable this setting, video playback is normal.
BTW, the video tearing that plagues these graphics cards seems a bit
worse with the latest driver. Previously i would see tearing only on HD
content, now I see it on SD playback as well. I am hoping it is related
to the issue above. Still hoping that someone will be kind enough to
add support for setting the XV port to use for playback, since the video
overlay port on this card has no tearing issues.
Thanks
Jason
