[mythtv-users] Which AGP Support Driver?

[Mike Wood]

I had been using AGPGART up until an hour ago.  I changed my XF86Config 
to us NvAGP and low & behold, my playback 'seems' to be much smoother 
during LiveTV.  I need to keep watching to see, but so far it really 
seems to have made a considerable difference. 

If anyone else is still having occassional jitters and you're using 
AGPGART with a GeForce card, NvAGP might just be a better bet.  I'll 
keep you posted.
