[mythtv-users] MythTV frontend + XVMC + AGP?

[Rich West]

I just bit the bullet and upgraded all of my frontends to Fedora 10
(from Fedora 8), and I have found that I have to finally face the Nvidia
bug (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118738) with NvAGP
breaking XvMC.  Ugh.

I had been rebuilding the 100.14.11 driver (the last good working
driver) under Fedora 8 by applying a patch to it.  Unfortunately, under
Fedora 10, I can't get it to compile.

I thought I would fight with the latest driver.  It looks like the only
fix is to set NvAGP to 0, but the side effects of NvAGP disabled seem to
be reducing the WAF (choppy previews of HD recordings (due to higher CPU
utilization?), really really high cpu utilization and the resulting
video drag when skipping forward, backward, or auto commercial skipping).

I know this isn't entirely mythtv related, but I was wondering if anyone
has had any luck with, possibly, compiling 100.14.11 under Fedora 10
(kernel 2.6.27.19)?
