Hi Guys

I've just upgraded to the the new mythtv-bijou packages on atrpms, which 
(amongst other things) is essentially a fedora packaged version of 
Jean-Yves' vdpau backport

I've been running mplayer-vdpau sucssfully for weeks now so I know it 
works, however in mythtv I always get

VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'vdpau' not available.
                        codec 'H.264' makes 'opengl,xv-blit,xshm,xlib,' 
available, using 'opengl' instead.


Running with -v playback doesn't produce anythign more useful than that.
Hardware is an nvidia 8300 on a Asus M3N78-Pro motherboard, using the 
180.29 drivers as supplied by atrpms

I'm not sure where to start looking really, any ideas?

Dunc
