<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">I just looked at the wiki on
XvMC and it has been extensively edited/updated in the last week. I
noticed that the information on how to enable the chromakey fix on the
4xxx/5xxx series cards has been removed. It just says to use the
chromakey OSD. However just using the chromakey OSD won't give you a
color OSD. I still needed to add 'Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "false"' to
my xorg.conf and I had to change a setting in the database. Should this
information be put back in the wiki? Or is the chromakey OSD supposed
to work out of box now without those tweaks? And there is no
information about using xvmc-opengl to get a color OSD. This would be
good to document in the wiki, but I have only been able to find
anecdotal information from message boards like this. Does anybody know
more about the xvmc-opengl option? If we can get the correct info, I
will be happy to add it into the wiki.</div>

<div>Indeed. I could be wrong (I did much of the editing) but with
0.21 and playback profiles, I don't believe the database change is
required anymore. The xorg.conf option is listed in the page as
something to set. I'm not too familiar with the opengl OSD myself but
would certainly welcome anyone that has the details to include them. I
was hoping that the new page made things a little more step by step for
getting XvMC working.</div>

The new page is much better and much more up to date. I see that
xorg.conf option listed now. Thanks for all the work. There are a
couple of errors though, so I went ahead and made the minor
corrections. The xorg.conf options should go in the "Device" section
not the "Driver" section. Using the "Driver" section will result in an
error and crash X. Also 'End Section' needed to be changed to
'EndSection' (no space) in two places. I added a comment indicating the
Option "XvmcUsesTextures" is used for the Chromakey fix to get a color
OSD. I personally had to disable this option because it causes the left
and top side of the screen to have a few pixels of solid blue during
playback. So it may not be a good idea to tell everybody to enable this
option especially if it only applies to series 4/5 cards. It might be
better placed under the OSD chromakey section. <br>
