also :
[root at troodon ~]# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.so.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59600 Nov 15 01:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.so.1.0
[root at troodon ~]# ls -l /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33 Oct 31 11:14 /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
[root at troodon ~]#
I can tell when everything works, because the OSD is grey - when I am
running without VLD the OSD is blue - when I get a complete failure I
don't get a picture, I get an error message.
With my current setup 113 runs with a grey OSD happily
With exactly the same setup, but a 115 libmyth rpm I get the error
message and no picture
If I disable VLD from setup with 115 I get a picture - with blue OSD -
i.e. NO acceleration
