I was having quite the problem with this too.  I am running High Def,
so I really worked diligently to get this going.  I have an AMD64
3200, and nvidia GF4 440MX

I finally got it running with the latest drivers (7667).  I did have
to recompile myth a couple times while toying with different versions,
myth builds against the installed version.

Good Luck!
