Hi!<br><br> Alright, I'm about hitting my head against the wall now! I just plugged in my GeForce 7300 card to do HD video. The machine is a beefy box (amd64, dual core) so I thought it could handle it. I'm struggling trying to get the hd part to work.
<br><br> My first problem is hd1080i. Whenever I set that in xorg, the menus blur when I flip around and everything is blurry/flickering/jittery. BTW, I'm connecting it to the tv via component cables and i'm not setting the refresh rates or anything like that in my
xorg.conf file.<br><br> Now my second delimma. Jittery/flickering menus aside, if I try to watch live tv or play a video, I hear about a half a second of sound and then that's it. Looking through the mythfrontend log file, I get this error message. I haven't dug really deep in google yet for it, but just frustrated and would like something to work!

A widget probably has not done a calculateScreeArea(). Will redraw the whole screen (inefficient!).
