Good to know - I'm not trying the impossible!

Already done that.

I was somewhat unclear - I meant I've tried both versions, not at the same
time :)
I've since made some progress. Using envy I uninstalled the drivers
completely, rebooted, installed the 169 drivers and rebooted. Now xine works
fine and you can really see the difference. However Myth gives:
2008-03-15 11:34:43.149 VideoOutputXv Error: XvMC output requested, but is not

I checked the Xorg.0.log and the XVideo & XVideo-MotionCompensation extensions
are being loaded (and of course xine works as well).
I guess this narrows it down to mythfrontend problems. I currently on
mythbuntu weekly's, I wonder if I should drop back to backports (groan).
Thanks
