[mythtv-users] Matrox Millennium G400 MAX

[Steve Smith]

Can't get myth working on 5-10 year old hardware? Pah!
I run 23 on a pentium 3 900mhz 512mb Ubuntu 10.04 system with a nvidia
fx5200...
Is it wiz bang? Nope. But it does sd fine. Try using the 5200 with
mythbuntu should work fine with a bit me tweaking. Yo'll need the
proprietry drivers loaded...
