I had been running mythtv-0.10 on my Via EPIA M10000 with RH8 with no problems. Recently, I reinstalled the system with RH9. I downloaded the latest display driver from via arena and installed it (using vinstall) and tried it out. It works fine. I then configured i2c and bttv (I have an ATI TV Wonder/VE) and tried to restart XFree86 but it won't come up. I'm getting these errors in the XFree86 log:

 WW) VESA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xd8000000,0x2000000)
 ombining range (0xd8000000,0x2000000)

 Fatal server error:
 AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

 Here's what I have in my modules.conf:

 alias eth0 via-rhine
 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
 alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
 alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
 alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 
 2>&1 || :
 pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 
 || :

 # i2c
 alias char-major-89     i2c-dev
 options i2c-core        i2c_debug=1
 options i2c-algo-bit    bit_test=1

 # bttv
 alias char-major-81     videodev
 alias char-major-81-0   bttv
 options bttv            card=64 tuner=2
 options tuner           debug=1


I have a feeling I'm missing something in here. I've verified that I have the correct bttv config because I also installed the via frame buffer (viafb) driver and if I load it and run fbtv I can watch TV. Any insights into what's wrong with my setup?
