[mythtv-users] Hard lockups using xvmc - too hasty

[Howard Cokl]

OK, forget all of this, since it's still happening.  Rebooting now to see if I 
can figure this out.  Man, linux is so much fun, if it were windows my 
options would be looking at the BSOD or calling 1-800-WHAT_ME_WORRY.  This is 
really pissing me off but in a good way, but after 2 weeks living on coffee 
and beer, my wife really wants a TIVO, plus the kids won't give me a kiss 
goodnight anymore.
