# cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log |grep accel (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling experimental RENDER acceleration (II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
Yup, this did it! So, to resolve it, modify xorg.conf to show: Option "NoRenderAccel" "on" # default=off Works like a charm now. I'm really surprised there is no error checking within the mythbackend or mythtvsetup to catch a condition like this. I'm seeing nothing within the specified log file (via mythbackend daemon) when mythbackend is set to log all errors.
