point what to do to fix this issue.  I'd rather not build mythtv from
source, but I'm not finding any updates needed to fix this issue.  Right now
my system has the following:

Kernal version: 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6

Nvidia information.. Not sure how to search so here is what I ran and the
output:

um --enablerepo=livna  info kmod-nvidia

And finally the output from mythfrontend:

2007-06-02 13:39:32.277 Switching to square mode (MythCenter)
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-9755, but
this client has the version 1.0-9746 .  Please make sure that the kernel
module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
NVIDIA: Direct rendering failed; attempting indirect rendering.
2007-06-02 13:39:32.311 Using the OpenGL painter
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory


So in the end I believe I have 9755 installed and mythfrontend has been
built with 9746.  My guess is that a build of mythtv-suite would be created
with 9755, but not sure how to get it?  When I try to upgrade mythtv-suite
it tells me that their are no updates available.

Thanks as always for the help!
