Out of interest, does this mean that when 0.22 comes out people who
are running Centos 5.2 or less are going to have to do an o/s upgrade
in order to use VDPAU? I'm hoping not because that would be really
disappointing. I got off the Fedora upgrade merry-go-round because I
got so fed up of having to upgrade every few months, and chose to go
Centos as it held the promise of not having to do that. I'm running
Centos 5.2 and it hasn't been all that plain sailing because of poor
availability of packages but at least it's working and support for
Centos 5.2 will be around for a few more years. If we have to do an
o/s upgrade for MythTV 0.22 all of the compromises would have been for
nothing.

Regards,
Phill
