Sorry Isaac, but it does not work.
Ok, to be truthful, I do not know if it NOW works, but it did not work 
as of the nvidia driver versions available last December, when I 
horribly trashed my mythbox through this route.  As a result I have 
become far too practiced and adept at installing the OS, dependencies 
and myth! And then I installed an nvidia card to make use of the VDPAU 
code, so the uninstall switch has since remained untested and untried by me.
