[mythtv-users] Setup program freezes X

[Hans-Christian Prytz]

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with 0.14, more specifically with the 
setup program.

When I start it, it works for 5-30 seconds, then it freezes the whole 
console of the macine (ie. only way to reach the machine is via ssh).
It looks like this is related to mythtv since I can play movies etc. 
fine with mplayer.
The only thing I can find that might be related is the following from 
/var/log/messages:

__nvsym sorta makes it look like a nvidia problem, but I'm checking here 
as well since the only app I've found so far that cases this to happen 
is myth's setup.

The system is gentoo, but currently myth is installed by hand (to 
eliminate any badness in the ebuilds)
Kernel 2.6.4 (vanilla)
Nvidia drivers v. 4363 (only one with overscan for tv-out)

When I say freeze, that is quite literally, the only way to regain 
control of the console is to reboot, but network connections work fine.


Any suggestions would be great :-)
