Hi

I'm rather puzzled. Just got myself a new mac mini (dual core
1.83GHz), installed CentOS 5 on it and the mythtv packages from
ATrpms.

Now when I start mythfrontend I see:
[mythtv at mythliving Autostart]$ mythfrontend

Then you see X restarting and I'm back at the login screen.

I don't see any particular errors in the xorg logs, it just looks like
it simply restarting

I found someone with a similar problem, but what he did to fix it was
re-install the nvidia drivers. Obviously I'm not using the nvidia
drivers, the mac mini has an Intel GMA950 video controller...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Jean-Yves
