[mythtv-users] frontend only system has audio but no video

[Khanh Tran]

I'm using SuSE 9.1 for my remote frontend.  Master backend/frontend is
SuSE 9.0, running for almost a year now.   It's weird that I was able to
watch one show without issue, but now I get those errors.  Perhaps it
was a recent update that I installed.  I just did an update to the
XFree86-libs package.  Do you think that was it?

	card.)
	
	Xorg 6.7 has some issues with memory allocation on
	some video cards.  If it's the same issue, there's a
	long thread about it here:
