Sounds good!
Also, make sure to add a couple of xorg.conf lines in regards to this as=20
explained in the README.
By default, it will try to involve Xv with its GL bits and fail, therefore =
not=20
exposing proper Xv acceleration. (xvinfo will report no available adapters)
By adding the following two lines, the correct "GL-less" accelerated behavi=
or=20
will be restored: (These go in the "Device" section)
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
