[mythtv-users] XvMC Crashes...Sometimes

[Fred Squires]

Sometimes MythTV crashes when I start an HD recording with the errors
at the bottom of this e-mail. Mythfrontend might not actually be
crashing, the problem is when I start a recording the "Please wait"
screen comes up and becomes unresponsive, when I ssh in I can see that
 XvMC has failed.
If I kill mythfrontend and restart it the recording will play fine.
Since I made the power button on my remote kill mythfrontend and
launch it again the WAF hasn't been too bad, but she (and I) would
prefer if this didn't happen.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I'm running .22 on Mythbuntu 9.10 on an Athlon 2500+ with an NVidia 6200.
