The MiniMyth init scripts combine information from the detected hardware 
with the minimyth.conf file to determine how to configure Xorg and 
MythTV (as well as Mplayer, VLC and Xine). For VIA EPIA hardware, 
MiniMyth makes sure that /etc/X11/XvMCConfig points to the 
/usr/lib/libchromeXvMC.so.1 library and that MythTV's Playback Profile 
is configured to use VIA XvMC for playback.
