Playback profiles in mythfrontend setup.

I have no experience with new ATI cards - at home I still use Radeon
9x00 devices for SDTV-only playback with the X.org radeon driver.

Not a problem. You might find at the moment the fglrx has the best
support for your card, and correcting a bad configuration can omrpove
your video. Support for new ATI cards in the X.org driver improves all
the time now that they are releasing technical information, but
support is still "a work in progress" for the newest cards - see
