Hi all,

In the past year I have tried to upgrade from mythtv 0.20 to 0.21 (both -fixes)
and lately weekly trunk builds. My original setup is based on ubuntu 7.10 which 
is now unsupported, therefore I would like to upgrade to 9.04 or maybe 9.10 in the
near future.

I have started a few threads trying to figure out why mythtv after 0.20 is taking
too much CPU on my via epia m1000 with cle266 graphics chip. However I am getting
very little response.
This could mean a few things:

- I am asking the wrong kind of questions -- or in the wrong way
  (if so, please let me know how to improve on this),
- Nobody is using this kind of hardware configuration on recent mythtv, so nobody cares,
- Other people are simply more clever/persistent/educated than me in getting
  their setup running.

To rule out the latter two options, I would like to ask whether other people are still
using via epia m1000 systems to run recent versions of mythtv, and if so whether they
are succesfull in getting the CPU usage down while watching SD (PAL/NTSC/DVD) content.

If anyone with this kind of hardware is willing to share their configuration, I would
very much appreciate this.

Thanks,

Ronald
