Wait a sec...you've got VAAPI working with MythTV????

I think you're the only one that has gotten it to work.  Late last year year, William and
I tried getting it to work and had the same symptoms as John is having now.
I.e., if you choose the VAAPI renderer (not default, so you had to go through extra
steps to set up a new playback profile) for playback in MythTV, the screen would
go black and MythTV would bomb out (it never did a fallback to another rendered).
I've been leaving it on the MythTV defaults and it's basically brute forcing playback
w/ my sandy bridge 2500K in software.  I blogged about it back then when I thought
I had it solved but didn't realize I had to turn on VAAPI playback in MythTV so I was
doing software playback:

So to get yours to work, you had to install mesa which is basically opengl
for the sandy bridge HD3000 graphics?  Then you tell MythTV to use OpenGL
for playback instead of using MythTV's VAAPI support?  That would explain why you
got yours to work instead of seeing the black screen crashes ;-)
