[mythtv-users] new video card - configure X11

[Todd Mythtv]

Well, I installed the driver below from ATI and it works well now  
except for high CPU usage during video playback.  If I don't look at  
'top', then it's all good.  I'll keep an eye out for an nvidia card -  
it's clear that's a little more standard...
