I am not familiar with this distribution. Does it have an up-to-date 
version of the kernel drm drivers?

MiniMyth uses hardware decoding. Version 0.18.1.0rc2 uses Ivor's 
20050521 Unichrome drivers <http://myth.ivor.org/unichrome/> and 
supports hardware decoding both the CLE266 and CN400 based motherboards.
