Hi,

The current status with me is that MythTv CVS 2005-05-06 with the
enclosed patch works quite well with my Via M10K box. My
xvmc_vld patches 1,2,3 and 4 are already in the CVS as of the CVS
date above.
The enclosed patch is a bit of a hack, something better should
be done, but it does work. It just increases the number of
Vbuffers from 8 to 16 for XvMC VLD HW MPEG acceleration.
