Allegedly the openchrome XvMC is fixed with the 2.6.31 kernel, which  
I've updated to. Possibly the trouble I'm having is mplayer options.  
It didn't like the -xo xvmc option (complaints about scaling). I've  
yet to look deeply into that, maybe in the next couple of days.

Cheers for the offer Nick. :-)
