8:39PM on a Saturday night and guess what I'm doing... Just finished a
emerge -e world. Didn't fix it. Just tried X with hald and X without
hald. Didn't fix it. Tried X again with and without an xorg.conf file.
Didn't fix it

I've got to say I pretty much agree, but this is my wife's desktop
machine so I need a full distro for her, and she prefers to watch Myth
with headphones on he nice monitor as opposed to the old, noisy
Pundit-R's I have hooked to the TVs.

Is there some sort of mythfrontend Live CD that I could boot just to
prove to myself this is totally a Gentoo issue? I'd just like to be
sure that something in the PC hasn't died on me at this inopportune
time.

Thanks,
Mark
