epia how-to needed

Can somebody who has gotten mythtv and a video player such as mplayer or
xine working well on an epia write up a how-to guide?

There are dozens right now on the net and they're all out of date to
various degrees. The xorg, xine, and mythtv CVS are changing as the drm
software changes and there's no documentation of what version works with
who. xine seems to be written for drm 2.0; as up november or so it's
cvs version locks up tight when run with drm 1.3, the version packaged
in the latest'n'greatest epia kernel packages.

If somebody who is using an epia with hardware mpeg-2 decoding could
write up a quick how-to, or at least a list of what to install, it would
be of great value to people still struggling to get an epia frontend
working. The new mythtv 0.17 release needs to document what epia
drivers versions work with it.

What Linux distribution are you using?

For my EPIA boxes, I build a Linux distribution from scratch using GAR.
If you are interested, you can find it at linpvr.org
<http://linpvr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=290>.

Right now, I am using the following versions:

drm 2005.01.30 (from CVS)
myth 2005.01.25 (from CVS)
mplayer 1.0.0pre6a + unichrome-mplayer-plugin 0.5
x.org 6.8.1 + unichrom-xfree86 r30 + libViaXvMC 0.13.3 (from CVS)

On the wiki for Knoppmyth there is a howto for mpeg decoder with the
epia M10000, there is also a very extensive forum thread on this
subject, with people posting howto's for the newer mpeg decoder i believe.

Also, i am looking for any informaiton on the manufacturer or any
information on the mpeg decoder on the sis gpu's such as the sis 315.
According to Thomas Winischhofer, who makes a great sis driver for X,
sis has not released any information on this decoder and therefore can't
create drivers to utilize this decoder.
