[mythtv-users] Hard lockups when viewing Live TV or recorded TV PVR-250 ATI Radeon 7000.

More info:

I loaded mythfrontend on my Mac, and I can view previously recorded and 
live tv! (That is so cool!)

So, looks like I have an X problem. It's running the vesa driver now. 
Nothing I did can make the ati or radeon drivers work, much less 
theatre_out. Think I'll go pick up an nVidia card and give it a shot.

Thanks for any advice!

Regards,
   JJ
