[mythtv-users] [OT] new nVidia driver available

I can't speak for others, but...

I've been able to get XvMC functional on both a Quadro 900XGL and a 
GeForce 6800 GT/AGP using the Xine-HD app supplied by pcHDTV 
(http://www.pchdtv.com/downloads/xine-hd-0.8.tar.gz).  HOWEVER, I've 
noticed that for whatever reason, I need to recompile the xine-libs each 
time I make a change to the nVidia drivers (as I did last night in going 
to the 7174 release).  I've been having troubles using MythTV (see a 
prior post), so I can't test with that.  But perhaps it too needs to be 
recompiled for any new nVidia release to use XvMC.  Hopefully someone 
familiar with that part of Myth's code can respond...
