I don't have much to get my teeth into here.  MythTV is the only program 
where I've noticed OpenGL problems.  There is one possibility: I'm using 
the nVidia proprietary driver version 1.0.9631, which is far from the 
latest.  I noticed in a FAQ about VNC that (when that was written) the 
nVidia driver when doing direct rendering messes up the XDAMAGE extension, 
and if it has a problem there, it might :-) have other bugs.  

I'll try installing the latest nVidia driver and see if that helps.  But do 
you have any other suggestions of issues that MythTV brings out the worst 
in?
