[mythtv-users] opengl works in image gallery but not menus

[Jon Boehm]

What distro are you using?  I see something similar with Ubuntu FF.  EE 
worked FF doesn't.  I'm moderately worried about this as we approach 
.21.    I think I've heard that opengl will be must more important if 
not required in .21. (I could be wrong about that.)
