15 I can't say I've had your particular problem, but I've been running
16 mythtv just fine on my system. It is stable amd64, kde, nvidia-drivers,
17 Asus K8V deluxe - so not identical but somewhat close. I don't run
18 mythfrontend often on this machine, but I do on occasion. I was getting
19 serious X freezes a while ago but it turned out to be a dying video card
20 (it froze up on knoppix as well - anything but text mode, and a week
21 later the computer would boot at all - just as the replacement card
22 arrived!).

24 You might try messing around with gentoo in vmware just to try things
25 out a little - not that this would be ideal (plus I'm guessing it won't
26 support tuner cards).

28 Good luck whatever route you take!
