XvMCConfig is only used if MythTV is linked to XvMCW. To see what MythTV
is linked to you can use ldd.
  ldd /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend  | grep XvMC
It may be linked directly to libXvMCNVIDIA.so, or another library. I believe
the order of preference is XvMCW, Via, nVidia, I810. XvMCW is wrapper library
that allows you to use any of one the others at runtime by updating
/etc/X11/XvMCConfig.
