Don't hold out too much hope. I used Myth on QTE/DFB with my G550 to
start with, because it seemed to be the way to go. However, there's lots
of problems with that. Can't remember them all but I seem to remember
the menus didn't render well, there were various focus issues, and
problems with video overlays.

I gave up after a couple of weeks and I've now been running on X for a
few months, much better.

Cheers,

Martin.
