I don't know about FC4 (I use FC3 - I prefer to stay one release away from cutting edge on my production machines), but you'll definitely want to get GLX working if you use an nVidia card (which I assume you do).
With GLX working, you can use the OpenGL VSync for reducing tearing/jitter, and also you can use the GLX-based visulizations in MythMusic and the other plugins that support it. That said, you don't *need* it to run MythTV, it should* work fine without, if you don't use any of the GLX features. *I say should, because I haven't used all of the plugins, so I don't know the code path. You might hit a GLX call and it might bomb out without GLX in the X server. GLX is supported by software by default in the newer versions of XFree86/xorg, and the lack of any GLX layer at all might pose a problem. -- Joe --- mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On the lastest FC4, when I follow Jerods quide and > install nvidia, > and change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" I get a > glx error.
