[mythtv-users] Geforce 2 MX 400 help

[Paul Doe]

this is just a guess, but it could be because it can't load v41 correctly.  
try taking that line out and see if you can still get tv out and everything 
to work.  if im totally wrong, sorry im still learning this stuff myself, 
its just I was having similar problems and the only way i got it to load X 
was to delete that line.
