I'm also having grief with KDE trying attach my audio CDs as I rip them.  I
think I have ruined my DVD Writer as the last few CD rips resulted in
"static" being saved to mp3 files..

I can't seem to get KDE from trying to access the CD whenever I load it into
the drive - It might be time to try Xfce...

NVidia's 3D drivers do not like MythTV at all within the channel guide (
1.0-9746 IIRC) with my NVidia onboard 6150 video card.  I just disable 3D,
and it has been working fine.  That's either NVidia or Myth (not sure which)

I really do like MythTV (when it works, and it did for over a month before
this meltdown).  I hope to get through this in short order, but it's a long
list, and the database thing really has me worried  :(
