Axel,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you - I've been on 
holiday and then had to rebuild my myth-box after the disc got trashed...

The mention of FC4 above is a typo.

In rebuilding my box I came across exactly the same problem again. Here 
is a little more detail.

Box is an EPIA VIA Ezra 1gz running 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3, FC3, 
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC3.ucr.30.8 and 
kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1376_FC3-2.6.3-2.ucr 
(http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC3/RPMS/) and latest myth from 
atrpms (0.18.1-114) with libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at. I haven't been 
able to upgrade past this version of unichrome because of issues in 
later versions on my architecture.

running  libmyth 0.18.1-114 gives :

Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using MC surface
2005-10-08 17:38:10.774 Using XV port 64
Unable to create XvMC Blocks

using libmyth 0.18.1-113 gives :

Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using VLD surface
2005-10-08 17:39:20.731 Using XV port 64
2005-10-08 17:39:22.017 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-10-08 17:39:22.022 Realtime priority would require SUID as root.
2005-10-08 17:39:22.121 Video timing method: DRM

Perhaps something in the fixes branch has caused this change, or a 
different compile-time environment ?


Thanks for your time,



Jules
