[mythtv] Problems with Matrox Card

[Robert Dege]

Matrox supplies linux drivers for their video cards.  Have you tried
those?  I'm not sure if they support xv or not (I'm assuming they do).

Also, check to see what /et/X11/X is linked to.  If it's soft linked to
XFree86, then it might be your card.  If it's linked to anything else,
then you're running XFree 3.3.6 which has no xv support.

If this is the case, updating the link to point to the XFree86 driver
MIGHT fix this.
