All the comments about 'how terrible ATI is' get pretty old after a while. The fact
is ATI and nVidia can both provide a quality picture in MythTV equally well. The
problem the original poster is having is not with his choice of video card, but his
choice of kernel; if you want the latest kernel, you have to wait for other
components to catch up. That's the way it is with all OS's, except Linux OS updates
are much more frequent than some others.
