[mythtv-users] XvMC

[Decent Guy]

thanks.
for others who have the same question in the future, i will post a short and simple answer from what i gathered after reading from the link below:

-- nothing needs to be done to the X server
-- must compile myth with --enable-xvmc for the XvMC support

hope it saves some time to others.
