I can't seem to get decent playback output using the openchrome xorg driver in combination with XvMC on my Via Epia SP8000 board (CN400).
Mythtv/XvMC Playback worked fine with Karmic. (and also on an earlier version, not sure if it was gutsy or jaunty)

The symptoms i see:
- Jerky video playback
- Deinterlace problems (one field shown in top half of the screen, and 2nd field in the bottom half).
  (this seems to be intermittent, thus causing the screen to jump around a lot).

In general, lucid seems to have problems with this graphics hardware, the boot splash image is also distorted, and when i remove the 'splash' and 'quiet' flags from the boot options, it will start booting ok, but halfway through the process it will jump into a strange mode, much asif the top 2/3 of the screen shows one deinterlace field, and the bottom 2/3 the other.
(note that this system is connected to a CRT based TV via the composite output)

Initial Xorg would not display properly either, i had to create a
Xorg.conf file.
