[mythtv] [PATCH] ViaSlice QMatrix

[Curtis Stanford]

OK, here goes...

Mine says using software flip.

I updated to your libddmpeg and the patch and now it hangs about 30  
seconds into watching video. The console has the message "waiting for  
free video buffers timed out."

I'm using gentoo with the epia packages available at  
epia.kalf.org/portage

epia-sources-2.4.25-epia1-r1
xfree-epia-4.4.0-r2

I appreciate all your work on this. I've never been happy with the  
output of my M10000 machine. The top of the picture is also cut off  
quite a bit and nobody else seems to have this problem.
