[mythtv-users] EPIA-M Unichrome xvmc vld

I've had that happen, but generally only when starting
LiveTV, and not during.  If it does happen, restarting
LiveTV once or twice usually fixes it.  For the most
part, my LiveTV works fairly well, with the occasional
glitch, and major glitches with the EPG and
(sometimes) OSD.

The spurious interrupt message is somewhat "normal", I
tend to see it in a wide variety of machines.  There
was an explanation from Alan Cox on what it meant, but
I don't remember the jist of it.

I'm using Fedora Core 2, as per Jarod's guide, with
RPMs for Unichrome from
http://www.kingcot.eclipse.co.uk/unichrome/.
