There are a few drivers for ATI kit. The open drivers are the radeon drivers, then the ATI closed binaries are fglrx. There are fglrx in the repos, but you can also download the latest drivers from the AMD site. I've not tried that yet, and probs will not until Monday. I'm running a BIG backup,

Ok, thats blown my theory that it is the ATI Radeon drivers right out of the water! If you launch mythfrontend.real from a shell window, do you see the same X Errors I was reporting? -- Mythtv frontend does not display any fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341898 You received this bug

If you launch mythfrontend.real from a shell window, do you see the same X Errors I was reporting? No the command output looks good. I have applied all the updates to my X31 laptop too and it is still broken. Although I can't see any fonts, if I guess where I'm going I can select watch tv.
