Hi Would it work with the 6500 cards too ? I wonder is this why I can't get XvMC to work with my nvidia 6500 card .. I always get a Segmentation Fault when I select this in MythTV JY On 27/01/2006, at 10:07 AM, Michael T. Dean wrote: > XvMC works fine on the 6200, 6600, 6800, 7800, and all th

I believe most people feel it is the Nvidia 5200. To some degree this is a "hot" topic, where people have their die-hard opinions. It seems as if the general opinion though is that MythTV favors Nvidia. Dave On 1/26/06, Klaubert Herr da Silveira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, > > so what is

Dear list, is anybody using nvidia 6x00 with tv-out (svideo) for SDTV (standart definition tv)? With NVidia closed driver? Is mpeg offload (XvMC) working? Or only for 5x00? I see in many lists and foruns non-conclusive information... Thanks in advance, Klaubert __
