Indeed.  I could be wrong (I did much of the editing) but with 0.21 and
playback profiles, I don't believe the database change is required anymore.
The xorg.conf option is listed in the page as something to set.  I'm not too
familiar with the opengl OSD myself but would certainly welcome anyone that
has the details to include them.  I was hoping that the new page made things
a little more step by step for getting XvMC working.
