Lug,

Just an update on my video card / mythTV problems. They are basically
solved. Since I had the system down because of the video card, I
decided to upgrade to 9.04 (I was running 8.04). After the upgrade (no
problems), I used envyNG to fix the nvidia driver issues (now running
driver 180.45, I believe). The tearing was still there, though. Next
step, install support for VDPAU using this:

which is a backport of VDPAU-support to mythbuntu 9.04 (and all other
mythtv 0.21 releases). After setting the playback profile
appropriately, the tearing was gone and my CPU use was *very* low
(around 10% or less). NICE.

I'm working on the zoom problem, which is easier to address in 9.04
than it was in 8.04 using the gui screen size settings.

Cheers,

Christer
