Hmmm...

The backend is a PIII 500MHz (I have a 800EB waiting to be swapped into
the case).  512MB of RAM.

the frontend is a Via Epia M10000.  256MB of RAM.

All 32bit.  All my hardware at home is *far* to old to be 64bit!  :(

Hauppauge PVR250 and a SkyStar2 which is not connected to a dish, but is
still configured in MythTV.

I'm using XvMC to use the MPEG2 H/W decoder on the Via.  The picture is
being deinterlaced, but no custom filters are being used.  I found that
the OpenGL stuff just completely failed to work, and haven't had time to
work out why, so I'm just using the QT painter.  I'm not sure if there
is anything else you want here...

Do you mind letting me know which patch you needed?

Cheers!
