I received the Hollywood+/DXR3 MPEG-2 Decoder card I won on eBay a couple of weeks ago in the mail yesterday. The Gentoo box I have isn't very fast, and I was advised that this would be the best way to get better performance out of the machine. I bid US$10 and won, but the shipping was US$12, and it ended up costing me AU$37, which isn't so bad…
I'm having some issues getting it to work on the machine, though. (Isn't that always what happens?) I had to apply a patch to the kernel to get it to work in 2.6.5, and now I can't find information on how to actually configure it! I don't know if I have to add a device for it in the XFree86 config file, or if anything output to the device file in /dev automatically goes to the TV-Out… I'll figure it out, eventually!
