[mythtv-users] Frozen Video

[Drew Tomlinson]

I have a Gentoo box running kernel version 2.6.13-r5, and MythTV 0.18.2 
built from Gentoo's portage system.   I'm using a video card with the 
nvida nv18 chipset (6600?).  I also have a custom xorg modeline for my 
widescreen HDTV.  My video card is connected via a VGA to component 
converter.  The screen looks good and regular desktop mode works fine.  
The mouse moves.  MythTV menus are displayed and the cursor moves around 
when I hit the arrow keys.

The problem is when I switch to a video mode.  The video freezes at the 
first frame.  The audio continues and plays just fine.  The freezing 
problem occurs whether I'm viewing LiveTV, previously recorded shows, 
and even video files via MythVideo.  All of this used to work until I 
upgraded hardware and rebuilt my system.

I have no idea what the cause might be or where to start looking.  Any 
ideas?
