[mythtv-users] Nvidia problem with atrpms kernel.

you need to reinstall nvidia, check it with "rpm -qa | grep nvidia" that 
will tell if you have the rpm installed, if you do you can run 
"nvidia-installer", if you apt-getted it, try "rpm -e nvidia(full rpm 
name from above)" and then reinstall it. It just sounds like you did not 
install nvidia into the current kernel your running on, the rpm -qa will 
tell you if it is or not.
