[mythtv-users] Myth w/ PVR-250, EPIA M-10000 on gentoo MORE I NFORMATION

[Patrick M. Gray]

Hi Rex,

I "up"graded last night to xfree 4.3.99.14 and the via drivers are a bit shaky, 
although I can finally see video!  Various parts of the Myth UI get messed up, 
mostly when I have preview turned on and try to watch a recording, and the 
program guide is also wacked out.  Often the GUI looks screwed up and/or the 
infamous pink fuzz makes a guest appearance.

I'm not sure if its something in my XF86Config or just driver problems.  Do you 
get anything similar?  Could you post a copy of your XF86Config?

If anyone has a similar setup (PVR-250 and VIA Epia M-10000) I'd appreciate 
hearing which kernel, xfree, via drivers, etc. you're using.T

Thanks!
