Upgraded my Mythtv BE/FE from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 last weekend.

The only problem was X  had screwed up DPI so the fonts were tiny. It took
me several hours to figure out just what combination of options in xorg.conf
fixes the problem. Sometimes restarting just X was not enough, had to bounce
the whole box, which made the whole process slow.

This upgrade also brought 0.21 which I must say is a delight! The new nvidia
driver + 0.21 removed the need for xvmc for me even on 720p content.
