[mythtv-users] IvyBridge video

I'm changing the subject to more closely match this fork of the mythpreviewgen thread, in case anyone goes looking for it.

Many thanks. I have pulled the GT520. I was wrong about the idle time with it. It was about 45 watts, now it's about 37 watts. I'm trying to stick with ubuntu binary packages. So far, the test HD video plays OK with the OpenGL Normal profile on 0.26-fixes, on mythbuntu upgraded to 12.10, which includes a 3.5.5 kernel, xorg 7.7, xserver-xorg-core 1.13.0, xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.20.9. Hopefully, that playback profile and package versions will be good enough. If not, I will first try a custom profile that more closely matches yours, and maybe compile mythtv master.

Thanks,
Helen
