the Myth Wiki for Fedora to try and set stuff up. However the Nvidia driver
just would not work. On the last reinstall this weekend, I started with a clean
install of FC6. Then I did all the updates, which included a new kernel. Did
the Nvidia install from the Nvidia shell script. I still had errors trying to
get X working. Finally at least got out of the 800x600 mode, but on reboot it
would not always load the nvidia driver, the message often said that nvidia.ko
was not found. Did some searching found others had this problem because Nvidia
did a kernel mod on old kernel and not new one like it should. Tried to
uninstall old kernel using rpm –e, ended up with a non booting machine. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to run the Nvidia shell script again to get the drivers working. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

rename all the scripts such that you can not get help from generic Myth wiki,
thus I could never get the A180 installed correctly. I tried KnoppMyth after
the no boot this weekend, but it did not remove the grub loader that Fedora had
made, as such it never booted. Also as I understand it I need Myth 0.20 for the
MediaMVP, as such KnoppMyth would not work?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

get the Myth backend working, but could not get play the output. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

will use it for compiling and watching TV on monitor. Thus I would like
frontend to work. For the main front end I hope to use a MediaMVP, which I have
gotten to work with previous install attempts. Which brings up another
question, does the MediaMVP support multiple rate fast forward and commercial
skips, and maybe a video time line? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
