Currently myth 0.16 supports the VIA binary drivers and old versions of
Unchrome drivers up to release-25.  Unichrome then removed support for
ddmpeg and now only libviaXvMC is supported.  The cvs version of Myth
has support for the new libviaXvMC and no support for ddmpeg.

http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/ lists some rpm binary packages for
FC2.
