Hi Rex,
I "up"graded last night to xfree 4.3.99.14 and the via drivers are a bit shaky,
although I can finally see video! Various parts of the Myth UI get messed up,
mostly when I have preview turned on and try to watch a recording, and the
program guide is also wacked out. Often the GUI looks screwed up and/or the
infamous pink fuzz makes a guest appearance.
I'm not sure if its something in my XF86Config or just driver problems. Do you
get anything similar? Could you post a copy of your XF86Config?
If anyone has a similar setup (PVR-250 and VIA Epia M-10000) I'd appreciate
hearing which kernel, xfree, via drivers, etc. you're using.T
Thanks!
