[mythtv-users] Cannot get XVMC to work?

I did a little experiment.  When I am watching LiveTV, with XvMC turned 
on, the only load on the system is:
	mythfrontend: 30%

When I cycle through channels in browse mode (not actually changing 
channels, just making the OSD come up)

	mythfrontend: 100%

When I watch the same thing, with XvMC turned off:
	mythfrontend: 50%
	Xorg: 20%

When I bring up the OSD:
	mythfrontend: 60%
	Xorg: 20%

It appears that the OSD doesn't work well with XvMC.  I have not yet 
tried the hack for getting color OSD with XvMC.  I will try that at some 
point and see if that has any affect on the CPU usage.

I have a Nvidia PCX 5300 card.
