Is there any way to know this?

At least I know it's not that, since this is the same GeForce 5500 card
on which picture controls worked under FC5 and SVN Myth sources. This is
a problem which only started after I moved to F8 and Myth 0.21.

For now, I'll stop trying to make XvMC work. I  had thought it was
necessary in order to do HD playback properly, but apparently that is
not the case. 

And I did find where the deiniterlacing setup screens are: clicking the
Edit button for a playback profile allows me to play with this, so I may
try some different deinterlacing methods to try and improve the picture
a bit.

Mike, thanks for your help.
