Not that it is likely to help you in your situation, but I have it 
working in MiniMyth. It runs as well as MythTV 0.20 on my VIA EPIA SP8000E.

MiniMyth builds the openchrome xorg driver before building MythTV. As a 
result, the MythTV configure script detects the openchrome libchromeXvMC 
and libchromeXvMCPro libraries and enables XvMC-VLD support.

MiniMyth's MythTV 0.20 and trunk are patched so that when xvmc-blit is 
used and codec does not support xvmc-blit but does support xv-blit, 
xv-blit is chosen rather than the first in the codec's list (which is 
often opengl). As a result, MiniMyth is much less likely to fall back to 
opengl rendering and crash due to the bug in the unichrome Mesa driver.
