[mythtv-users] Jarod's Guide and Nvidia 6629 driver with FX5200

[Larry K]

I had exactly the same problem. I checked all my logs and there were no 
error messgaes that I saw. 

I'm running FC 3 with a geforce4 MX 440 and 6629 would not work (it worked 
on FC 2 tho). I went to 7169 or whatever the version is before 7174 and it 
worked. Im gonna also try 7174 and see what happens.
