Kevin,

I have an M10K running as a frontend for mythtv.
I am not running Gentoo, but fedora 3 with rpm's.

Here's how I did it.

1) I am running Fedora Core 3, yum updated after install

2) via drm kernel module and Xorg rpm's from here:

	http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/

   installed using yum (nice repo)

3) tweaks for my xorg.conf file are attached.

4) mythtv deps: I installed the mythtv deps from rpms but not mythtv
(see #4). list of deps attached

5) mythtv - I used to use at-rpms BUT the recent package is borked for
via xvmc VLD. Compile mythtv from source. You will need a slew of *-
devel packages to to this.

note: mythtv should be set to play back video at your tv resolution - in
my case 720x480 (ntsc) and deinterlace playback bob/weave should be used
for best pic quality.

Good luck.
