What Nvidia video card? I've previously written here of a very similar tearing (I described it as shimmering) issue with my 6200 TC, and am very curious to hear of those who *aren't* seeing such issues with HD content. I have read elsewhere that a 6600GT is just fast enough to handle the displaying; it's also possible that a 5200 (which, I understand, has some hardware overlay features that the 6xxx-series cards don't support with current Linux drivers) would also work well in such a scenario, but I don't know. (If that's true, I'd also be curious about whether the $50-70 PCX 5300--the only 5200-like solution that would work on my PCI Express setup--would be a suitable modern replacement. Since I don't intend to play modern games on my MythTV box I'd rather go that route than pay $130 for a 6600GT.) -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
