Hi all,
	I just got the latest cvs and built it fine and installed it all
find. I then ran setup and it worked fine. After I ran setup and filled
the database I ran the backend which also worked fine. Then I ran the
frontend which started up fine. I then tried to watch TV and it told
me on the backend that it switched correctly but then the frontend 
segfaulted because it said that it didn't have Xv support. So I ran
mythfrontend again to see what was going on and I tried to change the
theme to the liquid theme which worked fine. I then tried to Watch TV
again and this time it barfed with the same no Xv support, but it also
said

QPainter::begin : Cannot paint null pixmap
Segfault

I figured the Xv support problem was a driver thing so I installed the
NVIDIA drivers for the Video card instead of using the VESA ones and
that works fine. But now every time I try and run the frontend now
it says

QPainter::begin : Cannot paint null pixmap
Segfault

I thought maybe it was a broken theme so I tried to remove the configs
and reinstall everything but the problem is still there. I can't get
the frontend running anymore now that I changed it to liquid, even though
I removed all the themes, and actually removed all the 
/usr/local/share/myth stuff and the .mythtv dir. Please help, I want to
play with 0.8 so bad. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
