OK I am almost getting my old FC5 setup upgraded to FC7, I had to fuss with 
nvidia drivers to update them so that X would run and now that X actually 
runs, trying to open mythfrontend or mythtvsetup gives me this:

Backtrace:

Earlier in my Xorg.log there is this:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

I do have a  Load  "glx"  line in my xorg.conf.

According to X my card is a  NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6100 (C51)

If I revert out to the nv driver Mythfrontend starts but the colours are all 
weird and blocky and I can't see any text.
