Hi Tim,

This would have been at about May-June of this year.
I'll admit that I was still relatively new to Linux and Myth, but from
memory the proprietary drivers would lock the system and the open source
ones would either look really promising and tear badly or would give a
really lousy frame rate that looked 'computerish'.

and for when I solved it..
