[mythtv-users] Switched from ATI to Nvidia. AGPGART problem

[Adam Propeck]

I recently switched to an Nvidia 6200w/256MB RAM from an ATI FireGL X1. I
didn't do a clean system install, and am wondering if this may be the cause
of some problems I'm having with the Nvidia. I can't get the NVAGP to be
used even though I have NVAGP "1" in my xorg.conf. Dmesg shows that the
AGPGART is being utilized instead. I simply used YUM to pull down one of the
8xxx versions of the Nvidia driver, and I am thinking that by not
"uninstalling" the old ATI drivers, that I may have caused the YUM install
to fail to copy over the NVAGP files correctly. Is this a possibility? Is
there an easy way to get the ATI junk uninstalled if I used the Binary
download from ati.com? Should I try using the Nvidia binary .run file and
see if that fixes it?

Re-installing wouldn't be too bad actually. I'm thinking that if I simply
backed up my mythconverg database before doing so, that I should be able to
keep my old recordings showing up correctly, right? Could I make a switch in
versions of Linux and still keep the recording export out of mySQL? I was
thinking about giving Kubuntu a shot. Thanks, -Adam
