The opengl renderer now available in MythTV requires MythTv to be compiled with the --enable-opengl-video ./configure flag set. Ebuild provides no way to set the flag. Possibly opengl USE flag could be used to set it? Reproducible: Always
This was removed at the request of upstream. It will be removed in future versions of MythTV (read: 0.22). When I get some time next week I'll reference the appropriate bugs.

Slightly surprising - I thought the opengl renderer would be a key feature for future releases.

Seems a shame - I've always used Gentoo for my myth boxes specifically because it's easy to turn various features on and off via Use flags - but if it's about making the ebuild as robust and straightforward as possible I can see the benefit.

If its going to be removed from 0.22 then why can't we still use it for 0.21? Currently I have a G45 chipset and there is no xv overlay support, so the only way I can render 1080 video without tearing is to use the opengl renderer. Which I can't toggle on because there is no use flag for it. IE. using mplayer -vo gl2 lets me render 1080 video without tearing.
