[mythtv-users] OpenGL ATI Radeon MythMusic MythGallery Problem

Has anybody managed to get (1) MythMusic gears visualization; (2)
MythGallery opengl transitions; and (3) MythTV opengl vsync working
with an ATI Radeon video card?

I have an ATI Radeon 9550 using the latest ATI Proprietary Driver
8.18.6 for XFree86 4.3. I have the fglrx kernel module compiled and
loaded successfully. Watching TV looks great (albeit without opengl
vsync), even 1080i HDTV from DVB-T source. Tested fgl_glxgears,
glslideshow (xscreensaver) and tuxracer, which all work nice and
smooth, which should mean opengl is set up properly on my system.

I have compiled mythtv and mythplugins from svn with opengl support.

(1) MythMusic crashes whenever it tries to use gears visualization.

(2) MythGallery says "Sorry: OpenGL support not available" when it
tries to use a gl transition.

(3) MythTV opengl vsync doesn't seem to be working. mythfrontend -v
playback -l log.txt produces the following:

Anybody care to comment?
