[mythtv-users] Problems with mythtv-setup - freezing at Job-Queuescreen

[Jeffrey Rogers]

Thank-you for your reply....

ALT-x keys produced no results.  From a previous reply...I'm using Debian
Unstable and the prebuild apt-get packages of mythtv.  I'm going to try
compiling them myself hopefully with some debug config/make options enabled.

Also, could be X freezing - I'm running the ATI proprietary X drivers - I may
try another video card and standard X drivers prior to compiling mythtv.
Anyone else have problems with the ATI drivers?

Jeff

You might want to try ALT-N (next) ALT-B (back) ALT-C (cancel) and ALT-F
(finish) to get you back to a screen you can read.
