First off, thanks for all the assistance - this list and mythtv rock!

I've purchased the Geoforce 8400 GS and before I start installing I thought
I'd try to gather some additional knowledge.

As you know I was using the PVR-350 (s-video) for video, do I need to remove
anything before installing the 8400GS (ivtv-kmdl, video4linux).

I see all the nvidia files on atrpms but I'm not sure how to tell what I need:
based on what I can find in the wiki I need the following: nvidia-graphics,
nvidia-graphics-libs, nvidia-graphics-devel and nvidia-graphics-kmdl.

I don't understand the versioning, so any light you can shed on that for me
would be great.  For example, are the different versions related to releases
or specific cards?
	nvidia-graphics100
	nvidia-graphics169
	nvidia-graphics173
	...
