You're right, I missed that in the first one.  However, 
there are some major improvements - I am able to use 
xine(not VeXP) and get HW MPEG Decoding using -Vxv.  I am 
not a coder nor do I pretend to know how all of this stuff 
works, but it looks like to me that VIA has been able to 
implement The Hardware Decoding via the Xvideo extensions. 
 Can anyone else verify this?

BTW: VeXP and MythTV compiled with CLE266 support don't 
work.  But it doesn't look like you need them anymore.
