I'm not getting any compile errors or any errors in X or any errors in Myth. I've tried various version of the kernel and nvidia drivers, all of which compile and load just fine. I've recompiled myth with the -opengl USE flag. Playback problems still existed, although they were slightly different. Still, not watchable. Each time I try a different nvidia driver, I recompile myth. Can someone please share their combination of nvidia driver, kernel, opengl settings, etc. if you have it working?
