[Openchrome-users] Xorg.conf: Unknown Card-Ids (3108|1462|7312)

[Jon]

Thanks.

I checked out the SVN trunk last night.  It worked!

Playing mpeg-2 recordings puts my CPU load around 25% so I don't think I
have the VLD support enabled in MythTV.  Howerver, the XVMC driver works
and the tearing / screen artifacts are gone.  Whooo hooo!

I'll try recompiling mythtv and let you know how I make out.

Cheers,
Jon
