Theres nothing in mythtv-setup about nvidia drivers.  you should be
going to system>admin>hardware drivers and uncheck from there. I dont
see where you say what version your using but if your using intrepid and
a legacy nvidia card, no driver is going to work.  they are broken as
intrepid is using a new xorg.
