[mythtv-users] .20 upgrade: mythfrontend segfaults with "X Error: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) 16"

Mon Oct 9 00:16:20 UTC 2006

Debian Sarge, upgraded to .20

I cannot start the frontend, so naturally I cannot even go through the
fe setup to see if anything is bad.

Should I switch out of MythCenter? I see that I have
	.mythtv/themecache:
	total 8
	drwxr-xr-x  6 eyal eyal 8192 Jun 30 09:28 MythCenter.1888.1176
which should fit on the screen. I removed this directory and it had
no effect (and it was not recreated).

TIA
