Apparently nvtv does not work with the nvidia drivers after 1.0.7174.
See 'man portage' and look for package.mask to see how to limit versions.

I'm running a 2.6.11-r6 Gentoo kernel on a box whose main purpose is
MythTV. Everything was working fine until I did an upgrade using
'emerge -uvD world' followed with 'revdep-rebuild' (a Gentoo script
that rebuilds dependent libraries). Now nvtv seg faults when I first
attempt to run it. Additional attempts result in this error message:
Fatal: Cannot access video cards. Either you are not root, or the
NVidia devices are not accessible.
I get the same message when attempting to run as root.
I also have TightVNC installed on this box and normally start a
session on :1. In checking this further, it is interesting that nvtv
starts fine when using :1 via the TightVNC viewer if X is not running
on :0. However once X is on :0, that's when the seg faults start.
Thus it appears that nvtv compiled OK. Maybe I have a problem with my
X config? BTW, I'm using xorg.
I've tried removing and reinstalling both nvtv and nvidia-kernel but
no joy. I'm new to Linux, Gentoo, and MythTV. However I do have a bit
of a *nix background with FreeBSD so I'm not at a total loss. Any
suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew
