My experience is that xvmc isn't worth the bother. With xv (xvideo, nonaccelerated frame buffer output), I never use more than 60% CPU and never miss a frame.
Just get the xorg cvs, go to xc and do a make World and then a make install. If you run gentoo, you need to avoid gentoo's xorg implementation at all costs. They moved things around and if you install xorg's cvs version on top of it, it won't work. I did a basic gentoo build, build the xorg cvs, and then added a reference to /etc/portage/profile/morepackage.provided. > > To recap: I can fire up the front end, see menus, EPG, but when I try to view > video -- live or recorded -- I get a blank screen and the console locks up. > If I telnet in, I see frontend complaining that it times out waiting for free > video buffers. So let's say that I compile MythTV without XvMC, and I'm > running X.Org 6.7 with the included "via" driver. Is this recent enough? Don't. Just compile it with the XV output.
