The easiest way to install it is with a program called Envy. That will
install the binaries. Then you will need to modifiy /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
and change the line to
libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
to enable XvMC support in mythtv. Dont forget to change xorg.conf driver
line from "nv" to "nvidia".
Good luck!
Bill
