If you are marginal on Linux skills your best bet might be to wait  
'till an updated MythDora is available, I know Dennis is working on it.

I don't know if there will be an upgrade path or if you will have to  
re-install from scratch.

As with any system upgrade, backing up everything, especially your  
database, is never a bad idea. If it were me I'd burn any video I  
wanted to be sure and keep to DVDs using MythBurn.

The new OpenGL graphics will definitely not work with the PVR-350  
output. You might want to give some serious thought to obtaining an  
inexpensive nVidia card, unless there is something (like motherboard  
limitations) that is preventing you from doing so.
