[mythtv] Xv support error

[Cedar McKay]

I have this board and things are working fine for me with Red Hat 8. In 
addition to the unified drivers, I also installed nvidia's GLX and 
"kernel" driver (for the integrated graphics). If you need more info, 
or want to see my xfree config file and/or modules.conf file, email me 
privately.


best of luck,


cedar
