You didn't mention what video/audio hardware you're using. If you're using an nVidia card with their (proprietary) drivers this could be your problem. Try not using GL, either comment out "load glx" in your X conf or re-compile mythtv without opengl support. This solved an identical problem for me. If you're not using nVidia, then I have no idea :-) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
