OK, finally had the time to do this. The onboard video is GeForce4 MX NV18. I boosted the box's system RAM to 512MB and give the video card a 64MB framebuffer. I also verified that xv and xvmc are enabled on the server side by using xdpyinfo. I also verified that it is using AGP. I'm running at 960x540p using your modeline. Now the hdtv clip is quite choppy. It works OK for the first 1-3 seconds, then gets all choppy. At least I have a picture :-) The sound gets choppy, too, BTW. But I'm at a loss what to do next. If you have any other suggestions for me, I'd appreciate them :-) I thought of XvMC, but I can't: 1. Figure out whether or not it's already enabled; 2. Figure out how to enable it. Just to recap, I'm using the MythTV .debs on this Athlon XP 3200+ system, 2.6.7 kernel. Thanks again! -- John
