<br>&gt; fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#39;m assuming the two are related, and it&#39;s the xvmc<br>&gt; acceleration that&#39;s breaking things.&nbsp;&nbsp;I started myth using &quot;NO_XV=1<br>&gt; mythfrontend&quot; and the video did play back, but it was pretty choppy.
<br><br>NO_XV means no Xv.&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted, without Xv, XvMC is impossible, so it does<br>disable XvMC, but you /need/ Xv support.<br><br>&gt; The laptop has an ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility graphics card.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there<br>&gt; anyway to tell myth to use the equivalent of &quot;-vo gl&quot; option in mplayer?

<div>Thanks for the input.&nbsp; I thought it might have something to do with that, but my xorg.conf only references a single screen.&nbsp; Here it is:</div>
