If Myth were to fall back from RTC to software timing, that would be more CPU-intensive. (Software timing can provide as precise a timing mechanism as RTC, but is more CPU-intensive than using the _hardware_ RTC.) I don't even know if Myth provides a software-timing mechanism as a fallback for RTC, though. > How can I get glx to load properly? > NVIDIA's installer doesn't necessarily remove everything properly. Check out http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-c.html to see what's left on your system. Make sure you clean off all the OpenGL libs and links that were installed by NVIDIA (not the MESA ones) and re-run ldconfig.
