[mythtv-users] compiz/xgl crash with myth playback

[Robert May]

Try running it with "DISPLAY=:0 mythfrontend".  You'll have some
keyboard issues when you exit (compiz won't have use of it any more).
Look around compiz.net for more help.  This is a topic that has popped
up on the site.  But basically you can do with a couple workarounds.
