<div>Hi</div>
<div>I heard so much negative stuff about F8 and it's audio setup that i decided to stay at F7 level. ( I learned the hard way to not trouble trouble until trouble troubles me</div>
<div>regarding my MythTv setup. ). With F7 reaching EOL, I wonder if it is ok to go into the newly released F9 or should I take my chances with F8?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is mythtv working fine under F9?</div>
<div> </div>

<div><br>The end result is: NO it's not.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I JUST did this. Tried to take a MythTV FC6 Box to F9 and it was a failure (well, partial failure at least).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First the upgrade path from FC6 -> F9 was junk, the "upgrade" simply didn't work, graphics didn't work well, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I then reformatted and went through the process. All went well till I came to the NVidia drivers. Seems, F9 is too new at this point, NVidia simply would not load, not 192 nor the next version (beta, downloaded from NVidia themselves). The 192 build has known issues and has a patch, but the patch didn't bring nvidia up, nor did the beta drivers that supposedly fix the issue (and cause other issues).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This was an attempt as of last week Tuesday? Monday? Something like that so it's about a week old info.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have an NVidia 6200 in the box, and tried both Axel's driver as well as a download from Nvida (both patched 192 + beta).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now, I will admit something: I have 2 weeks to get basically my entire house network re-installed and re-setup/upgraded and I really didn't have the time nor the inclination to go screwing around with the Nvidia drivers. I can tell you that as of a week ago it didn't work "out of the box". That may be different now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I AM NOT trying to get into distro wars at this point but for me, I switched over to MythBuntu, had the system up within about 6 hours. It's not perfect by any means (see my post about MythBuntu + SB Live Sound) but it works and works well at this point, and given that it's on a 3 year support and installs by CD (it only includes like 20 programs, literally, and most of those are configuration applications) within about 15 minutes it was something I couldn't pass up...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>YMMV, NVidia may be working by this point, or I may have just done something wrong since I didn't do a whole lot of debug with it, but for me it did not work out of the box and Nvidia has known issues with the currently distributed production driver with F9.</div>
