I'm running 2.6.15.6 which has A180 support (I've got 2) and seemed to

Oh? Hmm, I'll have to check that out. I could have sworn I read
somewhere that I needed >= 2.6.16 for the A180's. Then again, with
as much as I read, I'm sure I could have mixed something up.<br>

I believe it was something to do with openGL not working properly. I
use gentoo as a distro, and for xorg7, they've split it out to
moduler. Reading the various amd64 related gentoo forums, as well as
their bug tracker gave me the impression that while it was doable,
things weren't yet ready for prime time. The machine I have running
myth is also my web server, mail server.. etc... so I tend to be
somewhat paranoid about what runs on it. This is especially true for X
which runs suid root. <br>
<br>
On the other hand, if nvidia's 7676 driver works with the 6.15 kernels,
and .15 has the nxt200x and saa7134_dvb drivers, then it might be a
better option for now. I'll try it out this evening and report back.
(not much time right now... have to visit the in-laws in about 30
minutes.)<br>

Take care<br>
