I just looked at the wiki on XvMC and it has been extensively 
edited/updated in the last week. I noticed that the information on how 
to enable the chromakey fix on the 4xxx/5xxx series cards has been 
removed. It just says to use the chromakey OSD. However just using the 
chromakey OSD won't give you a color OSD. I still needed to add 'Option 
"XvmcUsesTextures" "false"' to my xorg.conf and I had to change a 
setting in the database. Should this information be put back in the 
wiki? Or is the chromakey OSD supposed to work out of box now without 
those tweaks? And there is no information about using xvmc-opengl to get 
a color OSD. This would be good to document in the wiki, but I have only 
been able to find anecdotal information from message boards like this. 
Does anybody know more about the xvmc-opengl option? If we can get the 
correct info, I will be happy to add it into the wiki.
