[mythtv-users] Can't start up unless in X

[Rob Willett]

Mike,

I thought about that, I have an nvidia card and modprobe the nvideo 
module at boot up. Actually I don't modprobe,  I insmod it. I'll 
nodprobe it and see if that works, I;ll check the contents of lsmod 
before and after though anyway.

Thanks,

Rob.
