Anyway, if I typed:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
I noticed that agp was disabled. I had never noticed this before.
I had NvAGP set to 1 (use NVAGP if possible) in my xorg.conf file. So, I switched it to NvAGP = 3 (try agpgart; if that fails try NVAGP) but the status was still 'disabled' and the PC would now freeze requiring a reboot. Then, I switched back to the older nvidia drivers and the problems went away but the agp status was STILL disabled no matter what option I used for NvAGP in xorg.conf. (Enemy territory worked great and I was once again happy :)
Also, my 500MCE card still didn't work. Based on the input of some very friendly and smart people, I decided to update my motherboard bios if there was an update available. Sure enough, there was a fix for my via based motherboard. On the very first boot after the bios update, I had the agp status 'enabled' (I had NvAGP set to '3') at 8x plus the 500MCE worked great with no more reboots! I upgraded my nvidia drivers again and they work great too.
The moral of my little story is to never underestimate the power of a bios update. :) I learned it the hard way.

Just updated to latest ivtv drivers, and then updated my nvidia drivers, and now myth crashes in the frontend and the setup
During setup, it freezes on the video sources section
Running the frontend, it freezes after the images are scaled...
There aren't any errors on the console, and things were working fine before....
Any ideas?
revert the nvidia driver
