Jarod, Thanks for the help all this way. I think I am getting it figured out. I am a Gentoo man so I just can't let myself go back to using RH. It looks like this ebuild for xorg contains the libXvMC stuff that I need for the hardware decoding and also the unichrome drivers. It doesn't say if they are the 3d drivers or not but if they aren't I won't cry about it.
I think the gentoo folks sometimes roll alot of patches from CVS into their ebuild tarballs, so I wouldn't be surprised if unichrome had made it into the "production" ebuild, although there's nothing about it in the changelog.
What window manager would you recommend I use. Part of the reason I want to redo this machine is because KDE was a beast for this machine.
KDE is especially a beast on gentoo, what with the usual 9 month compile time ;) I'm very happy with fluxbox, which is small, lightweight and very extensible, and if Myth is all you need it will suit you admirably. If you're willing to be more adventurous, there's even lighter weight WM's out there like ratpoison. Then you can take all the junky stuff like KDE out of your USE flags and save yourself a boatload of compiling.
