Michael, The second line of the upgrade guide says: X now no longer forces a double hidden build of media-libs/mesa. Mesa now builds the software renderer (swrast) and whatever hardware driver you've chosen with the VIDEO_CARDS variable. Seems to me you're saying the new ebuild didn't build what you needed from mesa so I'd suggest filing a bug report on that one. Unfortunately for me this hasn't solved the problem. After rebuilding mesa I did, 1 time out of 4 tries, manage to watch Live TV, but that event had bad video and as soon as I tried to change the channel X crashed again. From dmesg I see the following video related things. The last two lines are clearly errors. Everytime I try watching Live TV in Myth, after the crash I have two more of these in dmesg: Linux agpgart interface v0.103 agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 865 Chipset agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected 16252K stolen memory agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf0000000 <SNIP> <SNIP> [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 <SNIP> [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0 <SNIP> [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 One Google thread I read says this is the X driver looking for gem support in my kernel. supposedly it's nothing to worry about but I never had these messages before the xorg-server upgrade. Possibly each two lines like this is just the driver starting back up again after the crash. Don't know... Unfortunately our machine here is still unusable... - Mark
