[mythtv] Problems with Matrox Card

[Ralph Little]

Cheers Rob,
I checked out their site, and there seems to be no planned Linux support for
pre-G200 cards.
Oh well.

Anyway, the good news is that a mate has given me a TNT2 card that he had
spare. 
It's an ELSA one (moribund German graphics supplier), but the NVIDIA drivers
seem to work fine, and MythTV seems to work OK now. Ran out of time last
night, so I will finish the installation and setup over the next couple of
days since I have upgraded to the CVS version.
So far looks cool.

Onwards into the breech...

Regards,
Ralph
