[mythtv-users] Video quality on 0.28 worse than it was on 0.21

[Allen Edwards]

Thank you very much for the specific instruction.  That is very helpful.

The lshw command no longer says nouveau but it doesn't say nvidia either so
where am?  Actually no longer says "driver=" The playback is still jerky so
not like 0.21 yet. I would feel better if it said driver=nvidia :-)

allen at MythNew:~$ sudo lshw -C video
  *-display UNCLAIMED
