Hi All,

I managed to get rid of my GLX errors with the NVIDIA driver.  But it did
not get rid of my underlying problem of a black screen for 45 seconds when
trying to watch live TV.

But I do have some error messages which I can't explain:

mythbackend:

I hope this helps someone to determine what's I'm seeing here.  I can 'cat
/dev/video0 > file.mpg' with no problems and play it back, but no luck
with mythTV.  I'M JUST SO CLOSE!!  :)

Thanks in Advance!
Corey.
