Here's the deal with two of my geforce cards:
1. P4 1.8ghz box with love sources 2.6.7 on it running gentoo. I have Xorg 6.7... installed.
-With my PCI geforce card and hacked 4363 2.6 drivers (official nvidia's hacked to work in 2.6) X will start but whenever I watch a recording I get mythfrontend 15% X: 20% cpu usage on playback. There is absolutely no reasoning for X using that much cpu and it's causing live tv to stutter because it doesn't have enough CPU power to record and playback.
-When I placed my AGP card in here X calmed back down to 2-3% or whatever and everything was perfect.
-I upgraded to the official 6111 nvidia driver through the ebuilds (glx and kernel) and X won't start when the PCI card is in there! Here is my Xorg output: http://paste.getlinuxhelp.org/376
2. AMD Athlon 2400XP+ with a mini shuttle box running gentoo and xorg 6.8
-Bought a new Geforce 4 4000 card AGP, stuck it in and when it's booting all ic through the tv out is black and white text. The screen can't even hold the picture signal lock. When the nvidia driver (official one through the ebuilds, prob 6111) the picture comes back and is perfect. I'm running through the Svideo out and i tried it through composite. This problem is only on boot -> X or whenever I switch to a terminal ie ctrl alt F2.. so whenever I leave X it screws up!! Ideas?
