[mythtv] If you're using an override to choose the Qt painter in master...

[cptspock at gmx.de]

Hello!

I have a similar problem. I need to overwrite the UI Painter selection because 
the OpenGL painter doesn't work since a system update to OpenSUSE 12.1. I use 
trunk, but not the latest. I hadn't time to recompile.

I use Nvidia propietary driver with Nvidia quadro NVS 300. vdpau playback does 
work. Driver version is 290.10 from nividia opensuse repository.

Here is the output of mythfrontend --version

MythTV Version : v0.25pre-3964-gc693d0d
MythTV Branch : master
Network Protocol : 70
Library API : 0.25.20111207-1
QT Version : 4.7.4
Options compiled in:
   linux debug use_hidesyms using_alsa using_backend using_bindings_perl 
using_bindings_python using_bindings_php using_dvb using_frontend using_iptv 
using_ivtv using_libxml2 using_lirc using_mheg using_opengl_video using_qtwebkit 
using_qtscript using_qtdbus using_v4l2 using_x11 using_xrandr using_xv 
using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_bindings_php using_mythtranscode 
using_opengl using_opengles using_vdpau using_ffmpeg_threads using_live 
using_mheg using_libxml2

mythfrontend logfile is stored here:

(Sorry, file is too big for attaching)

I'd like to help solving this problem.

Live long and prosper!

Ingwer
