performance and there's very little you can do about it; VIA stuff is
just generally low performance. I'm using one right now and it sucks..
live TV was very skippy. However I did come across one useful trick -
this only works because I'm using a normal CRT TV, but I switched off
deinterlacing in the playback options, and CPU usage went down from 75%
to 20%.<br><br>

I have a smooth running VIA EPIA M10000 board as a FE/BE with a PVR150 on
Fedora 8. All you need is to make sure that XvMC is set up correctly in
mythfrontend and in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig. Also, I use xine for DVD isos
instead of the standard settings. In Fedora 8, I use the stock video
drivers, stock lirc drivers, and stock audio drivers. All I do is add the
kernel-specific ivtv drivers for the PVR150. <br><br>
Here is my setting for /etc/X11/XvMCConfig<br><br>
# more /etc/X11/XvMCConfig<br>
