<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The first thing to check is the
playback settings in Mythfrontend.<br>
<br>
In Settings, there should be a setup wizard for playback to easily
let you try different drivers (opengl, xv etc) to see which ones
work best. Deinterlacing settings will make a big difference here
too.<br>
Also go to settings -> TV settings -> Playback to see which
drivers/deinterlacers are currently in use.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

(1.2GHz, 512MB I believe) and I put an old GeForce fx5200 card
in it. I will never watch HD content with this FE, only SD
using the S-video output on the card. I installed the latest
173 nvidia driver for the fx5200 and mythfrontend comes up
just fine. I can watch "old" shows on the FE-attached monitor
(I have not tackled TV-out yet), but not "new" shows. By
"old", I mean shows that were originally broadcast years ago
(like Barney Miller, Mary Tyler Moore, etc.), presumably in
much lower definition. By "new", I mean any recently produced
show like sports and modern sitcoms. </div>

Yes, what should I start looking at to fix the stuttering? I
have held off on messing with the xorg.conf, but is it time to
bite into that?</div>

configure properly in xorg.conf. Does anyone have a working
xorg.conf that works with this card that does SD and TV-out?</div>
