[mythtv] New QPainter::begin : Cannot paint null pixmap

[mythtwo at cyph.org]

Yes I did install both the kernel and the GLX. I used the tar.gz of both
because when I would try and install the RPM ones it had problems. I dont
think that it is the drivers because I got the error message before I 
installed the new nvidia drivers. Got any ideas? Please!!!
