[mythtv-users] Choppy Playback

[Prash]

The radeon/ati drivers shipped with the distro do *NOT* support tvout.
To get tvout working you need the fglrx drivers from either ATI
website or rpm.livna.org. Gatos is another option.

TVout will work with vesa but your performance will suffer drastically.
