My experience with this one is that I *thought* it was working fine and then I found out it wasn't. Just because X comes up doesn't mean everything is working. If I use the default hald/evdev/no xorg.conf setup as discussed in the upgrade guide then X runs but mythfrontend segfaults. If I go back to an old xorg.conf file from a previous release of xorg then mythfrontend doesn't segfault. Just my experience so far, Mark
