[mythtv-users] Stability of latest nvidia (290.10)

This is in regards to this thread:

I am also getting segfaults from mythfrontend with nVidia 290.10 video
drivers.  I never experienced this problem on my old hardware with this
version but I recently upgraded to a new system and mythfrontend is
crashing sporadically.  Every time the frontend crashes, their is a
reference to libnvidia-tls.so.290.10 in /var/log/messages.  I ran
memtest86+ for 10 hours without issues and compiled the kernel for about an
hour without seeing things in an effort to find a hardware culprit.

I wondered what others did to install the older nVidia drivers.  I am
running Fedora 16 and have used rpmfusion's drivers without issue until
now.  I have installed the nVidia binary drivers before with their
installer.  I'm more concerned with removing the RPMs I installed with yum.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Jerry
