[mythtv-users] g400 users help TV out and XVideo acceleration

[John Danner]

I used the following to get the TV-out to work on my G400...

The mga driver does support xvideo but I think it's only on the first head - 
the second head is what does the actual tv out.

Here's another document I found which looks similar:

I found it by using the following google keywords:
tv-out g400 matrox

Good Luck,
John
