"you would not believe how long and how many permutations I when
through before conceiving that fix for stable XvMC usage"
Thanks Scott :)
I had to post again to correct some errors in my instructions. I said
to do this:
sudo apt-get install xorg mythtv-frontend alsa-utils nvidia-glx-180
nvidia-common --no-install-recommends
If you do this, the nvidia driver will not build and when you try to
start x windows you'll get some error like:
Failed to load module "nvidia"
You should do these as separate installs (I think the no-install-
recommends is causing the issue):
sudo apt-get install xorg mythtv-frontend alsa-utils --no-install-
recommends
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
If you followed my crappy directions (like I did in setting up my
second atv), you can undo it by doing this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-common nvidia-glx-180
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
Now you can do it the right way.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180

Couple more bugs in my directions - edit your licrd.conf file after
creating and renaming it, and change the name field to Apple_IR:
name Apple_IR
To test your IR buttons use the following command:
irw /dev/lircd
Finally, it looks like there's a bug in mythtv where scaling is being
applied even though the settings indicate otherwise. Go to Settings-
>TV Settings->Playback and change the horiz and vert scaling values to
-5. Save the settings and watch TV. Go back to the settings and set
the scaling value back to zeroes. This seems to fix the issue.
