Is it something that you have to tell Mythtv to use at complie time (and if so is it in Axel's RPMs), is it something you have to enable in xorg.conf or is it something that has to be dealt with somewhere else? thanks Chris _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
