Odd, I didn't even get sound.

I'll have to make sure that I disabled the interlacing and stuff...

*checks*

Nope, same deal.

Frontend logs shows:

You likely won't get any video.

XvMC: picture structure FRAME


And that's all I get.  Front end just kind of hangs.  I can kill X with 
the shift-alt-backspace thing.  Myth .18.1 from ATRPM and Nvidia driver 
7676 and 8176.

While the 6200 card is faster and has the component output, the MX440 
card would at least play with XvMC enabled, which I'm pretty sure will 
allow HD content to play smoothly, or at the very least massivly lower 
the CPU usage.
