[mythtv-users] Nvidia Driver Woes

[Douglas Beck]

Hey All.  First off any and all comments on my problem are appreciated.  
Ultimately the "Renderaccel" "1" was the culprit.  When I switched that 
it worked just fine. 

I appreciate your info Jason it would have definitely got me up and 
running but I would have been sad if I updated to the latest version 
because the overscan feature is a must for me.  Please don't be too hard 
on my boy Jarod because he's been the single most helpful, either 
directly or indirectly, person in my quest to setup myth machines for my 
family & friends ;)

Is it possible to uninstall a driver and go back to a previous version?

Thanks, all.
Doug
