Comment (by dargllun@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 robertm]:
 > It is highly unlikely that open source drivers provide adequate GL
 extensions and performance to work properly with Myth.  Why are you not
 using fglrx?  What happens when you do?

 I looked at this issue again last night. With the standard open source
 radeon driver (KMS, but no gallium) I can happily use "mplayer -vo gl
 ...". Rough monitoring with top and htop shows only a little more load
 than "-vo xv". So it looks like myth should be able to perform similarly.
 Of couse, myth may be using more advanced compositing techniques; still I
 don't see why this shouldn't work. Probably OpenGL is pretty much tested
 with nvidia hardware?

 With all the recent discussion about the long-term move to opengl we
 should try to get as many platforms converted as early as possible.
