[mythtv-users] N220GT nVidia Drivers

Mon Oct 11 15:09:51 UTC 2010

Man, I'm getting my butt kicked by myth. 
I've changed from a fx5200 card to a 220gt but now, installing with either mythbuntu or mythdora leads to the following every single time.

I see the following each time I log in.

(zenity:2106): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Error: no display specified
Error: no display specified

I see a few things in the log but I've tried so many things which don't work so far. I've installed several times, with and without nvidia drivers with practically the same results. It's almost as if the 220gt is causing the problems simply being installed in the system. I've posted on the mythdora site as well of course but am not getting too far.

Anything not so obvious here that someone can see? I see there's no monitor specified in one section but seems to be in another.
