strange new behaviour on one of myth Mythbuntu Lucid systems.
I've got a GT220 car installed. if I kill mythfrontend and X and wait
for it to relaunch I get this in my dmesg:
[  267.959828] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1718)
[  267.959837] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

and this in my Xorg.0.log,
(EE) Jul 24 19:07:48 NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be r
eceiving
(EE) Jul 24 19:07:48 NVIDIA(0):     interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics
device

blems in the

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

if I switch back to using GDM to launch X and mythfrontend it
sometimes will work, but other times I get this in the Xorg.0.log,
(WW) Jul 24 19:17:02 NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000f598, 0x0000f598)

(WW) Jul 24 19:17:10 NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000f6e0, 0x0000f6e0)

Anyone have *any* idea what's going on?  I'm completely lost and am
about to format and reinstall...
