I do indeed have an Ati card (a Radeon 9100IGP to be precise).  I use
the open source drivers but I thought I had OpenGL support.  Glxinfo
reports direct rendering is on, glxgears shows 800fps and I get opengl
menu transitions in Myth ok.  Or is this unrelated to openGl vsync?

That would make sense.  Would it e possible to run this at half the
PAL resolution?  I suspect things would look quite bad though.
