I've set up MythTV as a combined frontend/backend (though most of the
backend work is done on a different machine) on an Intel Mac Mini under
Ubuntu 6.10.  I notice that video playback (live TV, recordings, or DVD)
is using 100% of one of my cores, so I tried to enable XvMC.  According
to the wiki at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC, the i810
driver supports XvMC.  However, when I launch mythfrontend, the log file
indicates "XvMC output requested, but is not supported by display".

A web search indicates that XvMC needs to be enabled in xorg.conf, but I
haven't found any indication of how to do that.  Is there a setting I
need to enter in xorg.conf, or something else I need to look at?
