I have fixed the error. Switching X to a lower resolution (800x600) fixed everything up. I'm guessing this has to do with the low-end videocard I am using (3DLabs PERMEDIA). Video playback is working well though!

  Been working on getting everything working for about 2 weeks now and I think I'm very close. I got it to work ONE time and now I cannot anymore. When I go to watch Live TV I just get a blank screen and hit ESC to go back to the main menu. Here is the output from the xterm:

  Anyone have an idea why I might be getting these errors?

  Also I was curious if anyone knows how to get the audio from the ivtv test_ioctl down to 44khz (I think my system may be choking on the higher frequency audio).

  Also my mythbackend log is producing no errors. Everything looks good there.

  Thanks!
