Axel, When I originally started working on the patch, I at first did it against the 0.18.1 release at the time. Then, when I decided to submit it, I re-worked it against CVS HEAD (what will become 0.19 eventually), and submitted it. Jarod then backported it to 0.18.1. I was running CVS HEAD located in /usr/local/bin, but my modified 0.18.1 code was sitting in /usr/bin. I just switched between the two by modifying /etc/ld.so.conf, and the PATH variable. (Well, and swapping databases.)
I can tell this because there's a check for an environment variable that I put in CVS HEAD that made it's way to the 0.18.1 branch - the code that I was running doesn't have that (because it was using patches that I made against 0.18.1). I noticed that CVS HEAD was allowing for environment variables to turn off features, as well as the GUI. The RPMs that I fetched were from "stable", so they must be the 0.18.1 new release (right?). The actual OpenGL VSync patch is not in the "mythtv-0.18.tar.bz2 " tarball, but in a patch file "mythtv-0.18.1-cvsfixes.patch". Anyway, I should have some time this afternoon, and I'm not watching or recording anything for a few hours, so I'll try to figure out what's going on. -- Joe --- Axel Thimm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Jun 04, 2005 at 12:33:04PM -0700, Joe Votour > wrote: > > Well, it looks like OpenGL support is broken in > the RPMS.
