[mythtv-users] XvMC not working with nVidia 169.07 [WAS: New nVidia 169.07 and interlace changes?]

[DaveD]

I have a 5200 in a remote frontend and use the legacy driver.  It works 
MUCH better that the new driver, but I'm only driving a single CRT 
monitor; no TV or second screen.  I used to use it to drive two screens 
(no TV, though) and still found it worked much better with legacy driver 
(71.86.01, atrpms) due to overlay support.
