[mythtv-users] XvMC compiled in by default?

[Andy Long]

Odd, because mine does not have a checkbox for that.  I see the screen
that has the PVR350 checkbox (says use PVR350 for TV output, the title
of the screen is something like "Hardware decoder settings"), but
there's nothing in there for XvMC.

If I do an apt-get install of either mythtv or mythtv-suite (after
doing apt-get update to make sure it's looking for new packages), it
says I already have the newest version installed.  Am I missing
something here?  Is there something I need to enable for my graphics
card?  It's a GeForce4 MX440, which I understood supported it.

Any further help on what I'm doing wrong here would be appreciated.
