[mythtv-users] mythfrontend uses 99% of cpu, unusable (SVN 15267, Gentoo)

[Justin]

Yes it was working correctly before.
The processer is a Intel Pentium 4 M 3.06 Ghz and the video card is a ATI 
Radeon IGP 330M/344M/340M (As listed in lspci).
I recently have upgraded a bunch of packages including the kernal, beryl to 
compiz. I also installed things like pulseaudio.
It worked just fine after the kernel upgrade and install of compiz. It 
wasn't until around the install of pulseaudio that it stopped worked. I just 
tried removing pulseaudio as my default alsa default but it didn't help.
