</div></div>Have you been reading this thread? JYA just posted about how 185 is<br>
unstable and he took it out of his stable repository because he and<br>
many others have had problems with it. It is still in his testing<br>
repository. When I ran 185 I had all kinds of problems not just with<br>
video playback, but I had problems when using OpenGL for the mythtv<br>
menus. I closed out myth and had blocking and stuff even on my<br>
desktop. I rolled back to 180.60 and everything was fine for me.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br>No, I haven't been following this thread, but I found it once I had a reason to start looking. Actually, 185 is working better for me than 180 in most respects, with the exception of the color issue. It doesn't seem to do it from within myth, but I noticed it while viewing some online video, and when using mplayer vs other players. I was hoping someone would say to "check [this] box in nvidia-settings" and I'd be set. Guess I'm not so lucky this time. I never actually intended to install it, but there was an upgrade that wasn't able to complete unless I did a "partial upgrade" and I foolishly clicked "ok" and here I am. Now when I try to revert to the 180 driver using the "Hardware Drivers" method, it tells me I can't because I have a broken package, and if I try to do it through synaptic, it says I have to basically uninstall myth. So right now, I'm not sure what to do. <br>
