Subject: [gentoo-amd64] MythTV changing positions on my monitor

1 Hi,
2 I'm wondering where to start looking for a solution to this. Thanks
3 in advance.

5 Since a set of recent updates, the most notable being Gnome but
6 certainly many others also, mythfrontend has started acting strange.
7 Anytime I switch the program to where it is watching video - be it
8 recorded or live TV - the screen position of the mythfrontend window
9 jumps to the upper left corner of my screen. It has never done this
10 before, to the best of my knowledge, in the 3 years I've been running
11 Myth.
12
13 This only happens when the new function contains video. Switching
14 between all the other Myth screens does nothing out of the ordinary.
15
16 I haven't updated Myth although I did rebuild it to see if that
17 would fix it but it didn't.
18
19 I tried the MythTV list first. The only response I got was that it
20 sounded like a window manager issue. That probably fits with either
21 Gnome or maybe some sort of X updates being what started this.
22
23 I suspect that Myth uses some sort of video acceleration that kicks
24 in at the point where it starts displaying video. Maybe that's
25 involved?
26
27 Anyway, this whole subject is WAY above my capabilities so it will
28 likely be a bit of a slog for me to get to the bottom of it and get it
29 fixed. Thanks in advance for any ideas about where to look. Some
30 starter info is below. I'm sure more will be required.
31
32 Thanks,
33 Mark
