[mythtv-users] Pink screen of death

[Josh White]

Does anyone have any idea when this should be fixed (like when the next
version of the nvidia driver is scheduled to be released)? I have the same
problem, but it seems to take a while to take effect.  I see on my main
desktop machine running Ubuntu 7.10 with a Geforce 7900GT.  I can switch to
the old driver, but then compiz, and my avant dock (sort of like OS X dock)
doesn't seem to work.  Video works fine after a reboot, but after a while,
it stops working and I get the pink screen.  This is true of both Myth, and
any other video player (vlc, mplayer, etc).  I've chosen to live with it for
now, I just have to reboot before I watch video (which ends up being about
once a day).
