   You might be able to check which libraries the mythfrontend binary is
linked against with 'ldd `which mythfrontend`'. If the binary is linked
to viaXvMC or libddmpeg it would appear to support the CLE266.

   If this is a VIA C3 processor attached to a CLE266 chipset, then I
believe that i586 binaries are the correct version to use. I understand
that certain features present in an i686 class processor are not
present in the C3 and i686 binaries may not run correctly on a C3.
