Hi Darko,

Just a note to say I have MythTV running like a charm on Fedora Core 2.
It took a long time (until NVIDIA put out 6106) for this to be the case,
I'm only using a bttv card (not an ivtv card like you are) and I'm using
blackbox as my window manager (I saw no need in loading GNOME or KDE
behind MythTV).

I'm running Axel's 456_4 kernel, the MythTV 0.15.1 rpms and all is well.
I suspect the problem is ivtv drivers; I think Axel has packaged some of
Chris Kennedy's latest patches which sound like they're pretty good.
