Thanks for all of the input. I have vlc and mythtv working everywhere,
except on the portable with the ATI issues. I'm going to try a few 
things as suggested in this thread and see what I can get working
and what I have trouble with. If I run into any further ATI issues,
I'll start a new thread, as this thread "vlc dies on GL" is fixed.


Thanks for all of the input and help, from everyone!
