Frequent updating of myth machines is a mistake in my humble experience. get it right, then stop! For this reason i moved from gentoo to knoppmyth for my myth box. Never been happier. Are you saying don't update the mythtv package, or some of the other packages as well? - Grant -- gentoo-user@

7) Note that this doesn't seem to be nearly as bad when I configure the machines to use the CRT output. I'm going to investigatge buying some sort of VGA->S-Video or Composite video converter. That may work better and not require all this crazy work. Check this out: http://www.digitalconnection

Grant, I have some Pundit-R machines that may have a similar ATI chip. Mine is a 9100 IGP. What is in yours? On my Pundits I'm running xorg 7.0 and 8.27.10. I have S-Video working on one but not the other. I'm working on that as I write. If you think anything I have might be of use feel fr
