[mythtv-users] Video lasts for only 1 second on live TV

I can't get the DRI stuff because I am using the Matrox G450
on portrait mode (something weird with the Matrox driver).

glxgears doesn't fall below 200 FPS.

I just tested with a different machine booting via knoppmyth
and the same problem happens. The other machine is also an
AMD chip, but the video is a via unichrome.

Thanks,

Alberto
