I thought this issue was fixed in 0.21 with the merging of the
mythtv-vid branch - my test box using an Intel 945 now uses the
correct adapter for Xv playback, when previously it would default to
the textured video adapter, I haven't gotten around to configuring
XvMC yet (no reason with a C2D and only SD material) but will try to
test it out and post my findings in the near future.
