Hmmm...  I am currently running a Celeron 900 with just the PVR-250,
backend, and frontend and I absolutely cannot get smooth video on a
Matrox G450.  Based on past experience, I would've though this would be
possible.

I realize the C900 is way slower than the A900, however if you can do
dual tuners with the A900, I should be able to run a single tuner with a
C900.

Assuming my Xorg-x11 is configured correctly for this display adapter,
is there any out-of-the-box settings that I would need to tune on MythTV
to make this happen?
