I have yet to get xvmc to work, but really need to since my machine is
getting taxed on 1080i HD playback that has to be downscaled to
1280x1024 (thats as high as my LCD goes).<br><br><br>supermario@supermario ~ $ export | grep DISPLAY && mythfrontend -v playback<br>declare -x DISPLAY=":0.0"<br>2005-05-21 08:42:30.707 New DB connection, total: 1

things that happen. I'm currently on the latest drivers
available on the ~amd64 tree on gentoo, which happen to be

little bit about needing an /etc/X11/XvMConfig file or so, but no such
file exists (at least on my system). Also, opengl does work
fine for this card as an opengl sync for myth or for video games.<br><br>My Related hardware:<br>Athlon64 3200+<br>Asus 68V SE Deluxe<br>Pny Nvidia 6600GT<br>Gentoo Linux 2005.0 ~amd64<br><br>I do run myth cvs usually, but I have tried
