Oh?  Hmm, I'll have to check that out.  I could have sworn I read

I believe it was something to do with openGL not working properly.  I 
use gentoo as a distro, and for xorg7, they've split it out to moduler.  
Reading the various amd64 related gentoo forums, as well as their bug 
tracker gave me the impression that while it was doable, things weren't 
yet ready for prime time.  The machine I have running myth is also my 
web server, mail server.. etc... so I tend to be somewhat paranoid about 
what runs on it.  This is especially true for X which runs suid root.

On the other hand, if nvidia's 7676 driver works with the 6.15 kernels, 
and .15 has the nxt200x and saa7134_dvb drivers, then it might be a 
better option for now.  I'll try it out this evening and report back.  
(not much time right now... have to visit the in-laws in about 30 minutes.)

Take care
Gary
