As Homer would say: Woo Hoo! In trying to make myth play back X11 better I actually got XV to work right for me so I can chuck my X11 video display in the trash. (I was making progress, but who cares?) For anyone else who stumbles across this kind of problem: 1) I am using the latest and greatest fglrx binary drivers from ATI (I was before too; Feb 2005) 2) I have Option "MTRR" "on" in my XF86Config-4 file (without this it will really load done the CPU displaying the 1920x1080 streams and sometimes can not keep up) 3) I am now running clone mode, but I don't know if that matters (I was running big head mode across an LCD and TV) 4) I have DRI turned off, but loaded with Load "dri" Option "no_dri" "yes" 5) I moved the overlay to the 2nd display (the tv) with Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "on" In Live-TV on a real 1920x1080 stream, my P4-2.8Ghz machine says it is 45-55% idle and displays nicely on my 1024x768 NTSC TV via S-Video. I'll send the whole XF86Config-4 if anyone needs it.
