[mythtv-users] Can't read menus unless I change my font

[Randy Ferrill]

I am running FC5 and Mythtv .20 with a Nvidia Geforce4 MX440 using the 
1.0.8774 driver when I restart my frontend the menu's are all dark and 
hard to read and the video looks like 16 color VGA. If I go into the 
control panel and change the font this will fix the issue until I 
restart again. I posted about this issue a couple of months ago and 
within the last few weeks or so someone emailed me directly with the 
same issue.

Also if I open an app so I can see Mythtv behind it the everything looks 
correct

Here is my Xorg.conf file I am displaying on a monitor (vga analog) and 
a TV (s-video)
