[mythtv-users] OpenGL Support and PiP

[Brian Wood]

With my previous incarnation of MythTV PiP worked just fine. Due to  
hardware problems I have had to re-build and things are mostly  
working now, but PiP is not.

The only differences (that I'm aware of) are a newer kernel, newer  
version of LIRC (shouldn't matter), and the fact that I have compiled  
MythTV without OpenGL support. This was due to high CPU load when  
watching live TV. Originally I solved this by commenting out "load  
glx" in my X config, but this time I took some "advice" and simply  
compiled without OpenGL. My CPU load is now reasonable even with glx  
loaded.

The system does see at least two capture cards, because I can watch  
one channel and record another without problems. IVTV detect shows  
everything OK.

Before I re-compile MythTV with OpenGL support in an effort to  
resolve this problem, does it make sense that this could have  
anything to do with it? Itdoesn't make real sense to me but I'm  
running out of ideas :-)

Any other ideas as to what might make PiP mal-function?

Gentoo linux, 2.6.15, amd64, plenty of storage and RAM
MythTV 0.18.1
IVTV 0.4.2
LIRC 0.8.0_pre3
PVR-150, PVR-350, HD-3000
nVidia 5700 video card

Much thanks for any input, as always.
