I'm sincerely glad that worked. As I said I got somewhat flaky response out of Xvmc until I enabled this option... Ever since then it's been stable as a rock.
Another thing to make sure of is that your capture card (I'm presuming you're using a Hauppauge or similar) is producing an actual valid Mpeg2 stream. If it's using RTJpeg/Mpeg4 then the Xvmc won't do the hardware decode, it'll decode in software. If you're using a BTTV based card, then I'm afraid I won't be much more help as I'm not familiar with it. Isn't the default in Myth to use RTJpeg with dumb capture cards?? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Limonciello Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 10:02 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working Gavin Haslett wrote: >I had the exact same problem with my setup running a Geforce MX440 card. >I added the following to my "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; > >Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "true" > >Double check you're using accelerated nvidia drivers, and make sure >your xmvclibs are up to date.

I enabled this option and restarted X, and to my surprise it worked again. I'll see over the next few days if the color OSD decides to make another cameo... There are still issues that it gives me for X errors however, and i'm not sure what those are caused by.
