I know that the documentation says that it can't lock up the system
cause it is a user process, but it seems to happen anyway. This is
what I see when I run the mythfrontend and select watch TV. The screen
goes blank and the lights( caps lock and what not ) on my keyboard
blink.


mythtv at death:~$ /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --verbose
Starting up as the master server.

Unknown video codec:

My system is as follows.

athlon 1 Ghz
512 Mb ram
ATI wonder VE pci
Nvidia Geforce MX 440 nvidia driver (4496)
Via82xxx sound card
Debian Unstable
2.4.22 kernel.org kernel

I tried the regular debian packages and same problem, I tried CVS and
same problem. I can use xawtv and tvtime just fine with this
setup. Please someone must have some insight into the problems I am
facing?

Thanks
Rick
