[mythtv-users] XvMC Problem and Question

[Brian Wood]

Trying to get XvMC working with 0.18.1

GeForce FX 5700VE card w/256MB

vNidia 1.0.7676 drivers installed

mythTV 0.18.1 with XvMC compiled in (I have the XvMC checkbox checked  
in the UI)
(ldd mythfrontend shows the XvMC library dependency, and it is  
fulfilled, but possibly incorrectly)

"load glx" included in X config file, glxinfo shows OpenGL loaded  
properly

Attempt to watch live TV results in "unable to initialize video,  
Unable to create XvMC Context, return status: 11 Bad Alloc"

I'm pretty sure I have a library problem caused by the fact that I  
initially installed the 8178 drivers from nVidia's installer, and  
switched to 7676 using Gentoo's Portage system. I already found a  
link in /usr/lib that linked to an 8178 version, not 7676, and fixed  
that, but nothing in mythfrontend seems to be using any of the nVidia  
libs.

Could someone using the nVidia drivers tell me what /usr/lib/ 
libXvMC.so and/or /usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1 are linked to? Also, do you  
have an /etc/X11/XvMCConfig file, and if so what does it contain?  
(should be only one line if it exists).

Also, running ldd on the mythfrontend executable, what is libXvMC.so. 
1 fullfilled by?

This would help me out immensely, much thanks.
