Slightly older version on this machine so I'll upgrade to the one you
are running in case it's a bug that got caught and fixed. Unless it's
the opengl stuff I don't see anything else really obvious to me.

Let me know what flags you think I might want to change and I'll do a
new emerge.

One note, in case it's important. This machine used to be our 0.20
backend server. I've since built a new 0.21 dedicated server and now
this is used as a 0.21 frontend only. I doubt that makes any
difference but fewer emails with more info is sometimes better. Also,
I checked that the DVD is working and correctly seen by the system. I
can mount a DVD in Gnome's GUI and I can watch movies using xine so I
think this is a myth specific issue.

If a rebuild with flag changes doesn't fix it I'll then post to
myth-users and see if anyone there knows why it isn't working.

Thanks again,
Mark
