[ATrpms-users] xorg-x11-unichrome and mythtv-epia

Hi

I have a VIA Epia MII board, and would love to use the unichrome
driver for better performance and hardware mpeg2 decoding. Being a
linux newbie (but learning more and more each day) I was happy to see
that there were some packages for this already out there.

In an earlier attempt, i tried getting the source code for X, patching
the driver in and compile, with no success at all.

I'm running FC3 and have already apt set up by installing the
atrpms-kickstart package and have installed, among other packages, the
mythtv-suite from atrpms.

But now I am stuck. How can I tell apt to switch my existing xorg
packages to the unichrome ones?

Second, how can I afterwards tell apt to refresh my mythtv packages
with the mythtv-epia ones?

If you need more info, please let me know :)

Looking through the archives found me nothing on these subjects.
