Hmmm... If I leave myth running in the menu, everything restores just
fine. But if I shut down the system while I'm playing a recording, then
X won't restore properly; I have a black screen. I have to unload and
load the nvidia module to get X back. Are you using XVMC? I am. Maybe
that's why it doesn't get restored....
Since I want to boot to the main menu anyway, this is not a big deal for
me, except that it adds a few seconds to the boot.
(Aside: You would think there's some consistency to this. I still feel
we need to have a sacrificial altar and burn an offering once in a while
to the god of high tech to get it all to work.)
