Are you asking for help or just ranting? My inbox is cluttered enough, I don't need yours and half a dozen other people's daily rants. If you would like help, it would have been helpful if you had described the steps you went through to install the Nvidia drives. Such as whether you are installing from RPMs or the Nvidia installer. Also helpful would be to know what you changed in your xorg.conf. The X error messages would also be really helpful to know and would probably allow someone to solve your problem in 30 seconds. Since none of this was in your message, I'm guessing it was just a rant. May I suggest the following links: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6629/README.txt http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#video http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ A careful read of those will likely solve your problem. However if they don't I'm sure we can help. And I'm sorry for the mean spirted post, but I'm getting sick and tired of people posting rants about how things don't work. They work, it just isn't always easy. If you want easy, go run BeyondTV or Snapstream on windows. I'm really starting to appreciate Isaac's one line responses.
