I'm not sure what trouble you're referring to. In terms of *displaying*
HD, I've never had any trouble (I have an ABIT AN-M2 HD + AMD 5000+
hooked up via VGA to my 42" Samsung) and I don't have any trouble
viewing HD content. I never bothered with the XvMC route, because my CPU
was fast enough to display HD (MPEG-2 anyway) without it.
Most of the problems, as far as I've been able to tell, have been
*capturing* HD -- especially from Cable companies in the US -- or
displaying HD H.264. But for me, I'm watching OTA in Australia, and
don't have to worry about any of that stuff...
