Last October I tried and failed to get my VIA
M10K operating as a SD Myth client under Fedora
11. I have since upgraded it to Fedora 12 and
have successful got it working with XvMC fully
functional. The key issue has been a very finicky
xorg.conf which I have listed below.
To all who tried to help me at that time, here is the answer.
