[mythtv-users] Total system crash when going to EPG from LiveTV (orvice-versa)

[Michael MacLeod]

I haven't noticed my Xorg process eating up very much of my CPU. Here's the
Device section of my xorg.conf file:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "NoLogo"
        Option          "TVOverScan" "0.65"
EndSection

Nothing particularly interesting there. Here's my module section, for the
fun of it:

Section "Module"
        Load    "i2c"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "ddc"
#       Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection

Anyway, any further ideas?
