[mythtv-users] 0.21 Not Viewable on VIA EPIA M10K

[Mache Creeger]

My understanding is that Standard XVMC and VIA XVMC do not work under 
0.21 and the M10K hardware is unable to support video in any other 
mode. Effectively that means until someone generates an rpm with a 
patch, the M10K is unsupported in 0.21.
