[mythtv-users] Please help with deinterlace option and mythfrontend crashing

I am creating a small, reliable and speed optimized new linux build for
a mythtv backend and/or frontend machine. I am testing with pundit and
will add more hardware support after releasing it to the public.

I am stuck trying to get deinterlacing to work. I am using the latest
cvs xfree and building in mandrake 9.1. When I boot on my mandrake
partition and activate deninterlacing everything works fine but when I
try it from my "PiVoR" partition the frontend crashes. 

I have checked for libraries and dependencies and everything seems to be
there (I can watch live TV without problems). I have copied and
ldconfiged the entire content of mandrake's /usr/lib and /lib into my
own build just to see if I had missed some dependency but this did not
solve the problem. There are no errors in the myth.log file either. I
tried copying the entire X11R6 tree from mandrake into my partition and
using that and it still crashes!!!

Can someone please help?

I am only missing xmltv and its dependencies and the build will be ready
for alpha testing. Please let me know if anyone is interested in testing
this build. 

Thanks,

Sergio
