[mythtv-users] Re: Mythtv 0.17 on EPIA triying to output to /dev/nvidia0

Hi Ivor,

Great to see your participation on the MythTV lists, I remember the 
anticipation on the VIA Arena forum when you first developed the 
reverse-engineered ddmpeg software - excellent work! :-) Up until recently, 
my PVR was working great with the old ddmpeg library, but I decided to 
upgrade my EPIA-M PVR and try the VIA XvMC software.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem with Gentoo, kernel 
2.6.10-gentoo-r8 and a configuration almost identical to Mark's. All other 
programs I have which use the VIA XVMC work fine (mp2player, and Xine) and 
my installation of MythTV is clean.

Just to confirm, is it normal for MythTV to attempt to use /dev/nvidia0 
despite not being built with any form of explicit nVidia support?

I'll rebuild my MythTV shortly with the debug options - hopefully we can 
find a resolve.

Regards,
Jonathan Thorpe
