Thanks Jarod. Before your msg I looked at the spec of mythtv and it 
looked to me like it would load those in. But, youi're right, it 
doesn't. So I did. And it worked. Now I have lockup problems. Came back 
this morning and a static picture of saturn was on the montior -- -no 
response and I had to power down. Screen saver is off. So, I don't know 
if I have the lockup problems that others are refering to. I do have 
6111 loaded and updated before installing mythtv --- it loaded a few 
xorg files. I say that because I've read that some people have lockups 
with xorg libs overwritting nvidia.
