[mythtv-users] New Nvidia Drivers

[Cliff Draper]

For anyone scanning the archives, I just installed the new nvidia
drivers.  With RenderAccel turned on (on my GeForce4 MX 440), my
system freezes when I go into any myth screen with UI elements on it.
With RenderAccel turned off, it works fine.

The Briggs/Chase Law of Program Development: To determine how
long it will take to write and debug a program, take your best estimate
multiply that by two, add one, and convert to the next higher units.
