Nope - got that part fixed. I just downloaded the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's website and let it compile itself against my newer kernel.

So that part is done.

Now sitting at the goofy error message which now I've come to find is a QT version issue. If what I read was correct (here: https://mknowles.com.au/wordpress/2011/04/09/installing-mythbackend-on-sl6/ )

I need to install QT47 on SL6 (even thouh QT46 is install) and now of course if I want to remove QT... (via yum) a whole bunch of dependancies
are removed with it even though I just want to slide one QT version for another. (yuk -- definitely not yum.)

Anyone know a trick for this kind of switch?

Thanks,
