Thanks for clarifying that. I have purged libvdpau1 and nvidia-current which had the effect of removing mythtv. I then installed nvidia-current, libvdpau1 and mythtv. Unfortunately there was no change in behaviour.

Then I re-ran the Nvidia install script. Still no good. dmesg gives me this and X fails to start.

[   34.690212] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 260.19.12, but
[   34.690216] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 260.19.06.  Please
[   34.690217] NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
[   34.690218] NVRM: components have the same version.

So then I removed and reinstalled nvidia-current again, which at least gets me back to a sans-vdpau working frontend. 

lsmod shows that the nvidia module is loaded (and the nouveau module isn't.)

Any more ideas?

Cheers,

Jon
