Hi David,

I just got the PVR-350 card.  Right now I am hung up on what appears
to be a similar message from mythfrontend. Problem is that is where the
similarity stops.  I am running a completely different setup than you are.

FC3, SMP, PVR-350, NVIDIA 5700, Myth (CVS)

I get no crashing or lockup, the display is "snow" from the S-Video TV out
NVIDIA card.  Looking at the command line output from mythfrontend this is
what I see.

Couldn't get the color key color, and we need it.
You likely won't get any video.

Sorry I do not have any ideas.  However this may help to know how
different of a setup I have and I am getting this type of message as well.
