5200's just work? Really? Please, let me in on your secret. I've built several 
myth
systems, always with ATI, and now *that's* a video card that just works. No
worries about opengl, XvMC, OSD, driver versions, compile options, etc.

People may be getting sick of me today, but my new 5200 is still giving me
headaches.  And it seems I'm not the only one, with other recent posts.
Sure, the nvidia driver is running great for everything I do, including
playing HD video full screen with mplayer, but once I try to play video in myth,
even SD content, playback is horrible.

All I'm asking is for someone that has a 5200 that works, to provide me 
their kernel version, nvidia driver version, xorg.conf, mythtv version and
compile settings, nvidia-settings, etc, but I haven't received anything yet.
