#2946: Mythweb's "backend status" crashes X with 9xxx nVidia drivers
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Malibyte | Owner: xris
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythweb | Version: 0.20
Severity: medium |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
I had been noticing some annoying "tearing" of video playback at 720p. I
was told that using the latest nVidia binary driver and a couple of tweaks
to xorg.conf markedly improve this.
I had been running the 8774 driver. When I installed the latest 9xxx
driver, the tearing in the upper area of the screen went away - just as
was mentioned...I was happy. However, MythWeb began to crash the system
when I clicked on "Backend Status" (it locked up X; I could ssh in but
couldn't kill the process, or even reboot cleanly - had to resort to the
reset button). The rest of MythWeb worked OK. This went away when I
downgraded back to the 8774 driver. I have tried this with 9746 and 9631 -
no difference.
System: Athlon 64, pcHDTV 5500 capture card, nVidia 6200 series OEM video
card, Mandriva 2006 x86_64 with Linus's 2.6.18-rc5 kernel with pcHDTV's
patches for 2.6.17-series kernels (fixed the "signal-strength" bug).
