</div><br><br>While troubleshooting a different problem, I swapped my GPU to an older card that I had and noticed mythtv segfaulting as well. I think it is a GLX problem as glxgears segfaulted too. I was using the same kernel as you (
2.6.18-1.2849.fc6) and a GeForce 4200 Ti. I didn't really investigate it too much because switching back to my newer GPU solved this, but it seems something may have changed in the recent kernel/nvidia driver/nvidia kernel module to cause this. Verify that glxgears segfaults as well and then try rolling back. Post your results--I had been fearing something was broken with my old GPU.
