[mythtv-users] LiveTV bails out after two seconds

[Leif B. Kristensen]

I have eliminated a couple of problems:

> 2005-07-29 12:01:28.711 Realtime priority would require SUID as root.

I disabled the "Realtime priority" option in Myth, as suggested in the 
setup help message, and this error disappeared.

> 2005-07-29 12:01:28.731 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
> libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
> libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

Those two lines reeks of a video driver problem. I tried glxgears, and 
lo and behold, it displayed exactly the same error. After some googling 
on my video card, a recycled Matrox G400 and the libgl message, I found 
an excellent hint here:

After adding the lines 

Section "DRI"
        Mode    0666
EndSection

to my xorg.conf, the libGL error disappeared, and glxgears jumped from 
125 to 366 fps. However, I still have no luck with Myth:
