s segfaulting. Note that it's a little unclear to me. I just saw that listing in the Xorg.0.log file and decided to believe that it was what Xorg was using at the time, but how would I really know? I'm attaching the xorg.conf file (renamed so you can download it without overwriting anything) that I am currently using. mythfrontend does not segfault on my system when I place this in /etc/X11. You'll need to modify it by hand I suppose for your draphics adapter, monitor, etc. Hopefully it will give you some ideas. I'm not saying it's a great config file. Only that my system is not segfaulting when I use it. - Mark Knecht.xorg.conf Description: Binary data
