[mythtv-users] Confusion - Myth/Epia/Unichrome ??

  Can someone please give me a sanity check here? I'm now totally 
confused about the best way to take advantage of the open-source drivers 
for hardware decoding with my Epia-M. I'm currently running MythTV on my 
Epia with a stock RH9 install and the VIA binary drivers. I'd like to 
switch to the open-source drivers, and possibly away from RH altogether, 
maybe to Gentoo....but regardless of the distribution, how do I get the 
open-source hardware decoding running? What combination of things is 
required to get it done? Just Unichrome installation? I don't think so. 
Is it the Epia Kernel, plus unichrome? Or is there even more to it than 
that?

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm definitely a bit confused at this point.

TIA,
Mike
