gauntlet420's Journal: MythTV Musings (Vol. 2)

I figured out why X was broken with the 1.0.6629 nVidia drivers.

According to the logfile (/var/log/XFree86.0.log) the server was hanging when trying to load the GLX interface.

apt-get install nvidia-glx loaded some dependancies (among them, nvidia-kernel) and made X come to life again. Of course, the TV-out is horribly interlaced and only occupies 75% of the horizontal screen space, but from what I've read these are (somewhat) fixable things.

The USB-to-Ethernet adapter is not requesting an IP from my router, so I have to dig into /etc/network/interfaces to see what is going on. Could also be a sequencing problem, if dhcp is happening before hotplug.
