[Jules Gosnell]

My FC3 Ezra is still on libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm

I posted when upgrading to 0.18.1-114 broke Unichrome use, then rolled 
back (just libmyth) to 113.

Last night I upgraded all Myth components to 115 - breaking Unichrome 
support again (log enclosed) - so I have rolled (just libmyth) back to 
113 again, which works fine (log enclosed for comparison).

The box is now running xorg-x11-6.8.99.902-0.FC3.ucr.2 et al. from : 
http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/testing/FC3/RPMS/ along with 
kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3-2.7.2-1.ucr and the latest 
kernel from FC3/updates...

If I can give you any more information to help get to the bottom of this 
one, please ask.

On the bright side, 113 seems to ignore the 'Use hardware XvMC MPEG 
Decoding' setting in Utilities-Setup/Setup/TV Settings/Playback and 
always tries to use XvMC, whereas 115 does actually take notice of this 
setting, but doesn't work when you switch it on :-( - so things are 
moving forward in other directions....

regards,


Jules
