[mythtv-users] Problems after upgrade to 0.21

I made the mistake of upgrading, hoping it would fix my playback issues 
on our local PBS shows ("Nova" wont work, "Desert Speaks" does!?!)  
These are the only shows I have trouble with.  I can play them with Xine 
or Mplayer but it's not as convenient.  I was also hoping to get picture 
controls back (brightness/contrast).

Any way, the upgrade didn't help.  What it did was break my remote 
frontend that uses lagacy Nvidia drivers.  I've read that there are 
issues and a patch but for that I must get the source to build.  I'm 
using FC7 with Atrpms packages.  I was running their trunk from bleeding 
and all was well, now I'm looking at making the source work, which I've 
tried before, without success and am not looking forward to it.  Anyone 
get 0.21 working on FC7 with Nvidia legacy drivers?

Also, in my main FE/BE system, I have to specify the geometry (a trick I 
learned from googling the problem).  I have a 1920x1080 LCD TV that is 
on screen 1 and a 1280x1024 LCD on screen 0.  Mythfrontend starts on the 
TV with screen 0's resolution and runs in a square in the upper left 
corner.  If I start it with -geometry 1920x1084+0+0 it fill the screen.  
Anyone know how to make this work right?

DaveD.
