[mythtv-users] Found vidcard, now won't play

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	I've mentioned my Xv/interlace woes (with r128 on R128, and nv|nvidia 
on a TNT2) on a different thread, but it appears that a Mach64 with the 'ati' 
driver doesn't exhibit the interlace bug.  Now I've got a new problem.  I can 
play MPEG's using XV with mplayer just fine.  When I try to play them with 
mythfrontend (either recorded or livetv), I get this on stdout:

 	Just black screen and the "waiting for free video buffers timed out" 
about every 5 sec.  It does it when I disable the "extmod" in the xorg (which 
disables Xv).  It didn't do it with the r128 or the tnt2 (but then I had the 
interlace bug).  It locks up the frontend so ESC won't kill it either.

Thoughts on my new and improved problem?  :)
