Drew I ahve seen a few messages here from you about mythtv related |
| 18 |
stuff. Although I have no problem at all with you posting here, you may |

www.mythtv.org |

It is a busy list, quite knowledgeable. |

As for nvtv, are you actually using the nvidia driver? - do you get the |
| 25 |
nvidia splash screen when you start X? |
